Just A Glimpse...

We found out on Friday that my boyfriend has thyroid cancer. He’s having surgery on Wednesday to have his thyroid completely removed. It’s really treatable as far as cancer goes but he’s got other health complications (I mean, he’s 26 and has had multiple strokes and they’ve never been able to figure out why those happened) and I’m kind of starting to worry more about it now since the surgery is so close. I’m also getting stressed because even with his health insurance, it’s still more than we can afford in medical bills already and there will just be more coming at us. It’s so frustrating and all the expenses are going to make it hard to get by. We were planning on moving next month to be closer to his job and either getting a second car or fixing his Tempo but we won’t be able to do either thing any time soon now. Which doesn’t seem like a big deal but it is for several reasons, none of which I really feel like getting in to right now. I’m trying to focus less on the financial stress but if I do that, then I end up focusing on the fact that he’s got cancer. Then I start thinking about all the things the surgeon said could go wrong and I’d rather be stressed about money and bills over thinking about anything going wrong with his surgery.
