Stinging eyes

inthesaddle:

I’m very emotional today. I don’t know why.

I started following Spontaneous Love and just spent the remaining portion of my lunch hour reading her posts. I can’t even imagine what she must be going through. Who the hell am I to complain and bitch and be sad? And it pains me to see her struggle, her insurance company do nothing about it, and idiots in the world make comments on her desire for good health coverage. Imagine the audacity of wanting your insurance to help with cancer! I mean. Really.

Spontaneous Love, you don’t know me and you don’t follow me so you might never see this, but I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

I started following this because wow, but man that’s a tough site to read right before your boyfriend goes in for a month-long chemo/radiation/stem cell transplant ordeal in his ongoing fight against central nervous system lymphoma.

But he’s one of the lucky ones in that he has insurance, which has to date thrown half a million dollars at our broken health care system to get him some of the best treatment the world offers currently. This year and a half has been so hard, but I really cannot imagine dealing without insurance - mostly because he would be dead now.

I can assure the ignorant twat who said that many cancers are preventable that most aren’t, and I sincerely hope they never wake up with an egg-shaped tumor in the middle of their brain like my boyfriend did, because those words would come back to haunt in a big way.
