Hello my name is Venita Howell and I am 45 years old. One week ago, out of nowhere I found out something was wrong with me and on Thursday I found out I have Bile Duct Cancer. I have been told I only have a few months....but we won't know if I even have months or if its actually weeks.... till the surgeon sees me and confirms if he can do surgery to put a stint in to keep my bile from backing up into my blood stream which would leave me confused for the rest of my time with my family. I have long term disability but not short term disability. I don't want my family to lose our home while I am sick. I have some life insurance that will help them after I am gone. But that wont pay my monthly bills or the money we need to pay for my testing and copays..or to get to Drs. We are good Christian people , who pay our bills and taxes. We are responsible good people. We love our family and my husband and I are both prior military. We have 3 children, our son is 22 years old and so is our daughter in law and we have a 9 year old daughter who we adopted from foster care when she was 8 months old. She was born addicted to drugs so I stayed home with her while my husband worked and then when she was 5 we moved to Pottsboro and I got a really good job and we traded places - he takes her to therapies and activities to help with her issues.. Well now with me sick I cant pay the bills and I will go back to work if I have to but I would like to spend what time I have left watching my children and loving my husband. This is so embarassing and humbling for me to ask for help. I have never asked for charity and honestly it sickens me to ask. But I have never been in this position before. Please help me if you can... I am trying to get into Cancer Treatment Center of America but I don't know if they can help me but I will not give up!
