I received a cancer diagnosis in September 2022. My sister passed away 5 years ago leaving behind 2 boys 19 y.o. & 10 y.o. I only have custody of the 19 yr old. So I am now left to be my one and only sibling. I don't really have much to call my own. I'm living in a single wide trailer that was purchased by my grandfather over 40 years ago. Walking through this house is like a landmine with all the holes that are in the floor under the carpet. I can see the ground where the wall is supposed to meet the carpet in my living room. Very recently, I had a heater almost burn up and if I wouldn't be able to have my oxygen which I have to have at night when I sleep,it could kill me.The electricity in this house is shot and all of the plug-ins are almost blown out. I use to pay my mama rent to live here but Ive been having to overdraft my account just to live so she's been helping me out. she's disabled too which was my original reason for even getting clean and moving back home was to take care of her. Yes I'm a former addict 2 1/2 years clean. So she's doing the best she can. She only has one leg, and she can't get around much. I lost my dad at a young age right after my mom lost her leg in a wreck. I hate telling these same old sad songs over and over but everything I've said is true and is coming from the heart. I had to grow up at a young age and turn into my mama's caretaker after her accident. I just don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. But do I think I'm living in an unsafe living condition?? maybe...on top of the cancer diagnosis I received on Sept of 22'. Yes, am I losing my mind , yes, I feel like it. I've had enough loss, trauma and pain my whole life.This story is only beginning to touch the surface. I've done,seen and felt more than most people have in the movies or on tv, I didn't grow up living a normal life. Normal was boring for me, but God showed me that normal and boring are what's needed in order for me to heal and maybe get rid of this despicable cancer one day. Although it's incurable and I have numerous other diseases or syndromes. I've never heard of having chronic leukemia. But that's what Polycythemia Vera is. Which is the name of my particular kind, everyone is different on how severe the side effects are and I'm just in the beginning stages of truly finding out whats wrong.
