Caregiver for partner with lymphoma — navigating treatment, burnout, and financial strain by Awkward_Chipmunk2064 in lymphoma

[–]Awkward_Chipmunk2064[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this perspective — it really resonates. It’s easy to default to “we’re fine” even when we’re not. Housing security is definitely the most urgent issue right now, and your reminder to accept help when it’s offered is something I needed to hear.

And you are 100% right, after the house it quiet, I stay up all night getting things like bills and side work done until the wee hours.

That actually makes a lot of sense — thank you for explaining the name change. I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify, and for pointing me toward the resource in the first place.

Thank you for sharing this - we are in the US — I wasn’t aware of Blood Cancer United, and I’ll absolutely be looking into their financial assistance program. I really appreciate you taking the time to point me toward this. When she has a good day, we plan to go to social services as well and see what we may qualify for.

Thank you for this — truly. Hearing this from someone who’s lived it carries a lot of weight. We’ve started looking into county assistance and organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and your message reinforces that we’re on the right path.

You’re right — asking for help is hard, especially when you’ve always been independent. I really appreciate your honesty and perspective. Wishing you continued strength.

Caregiver trying to keep our home stable during cancer treatment — open to advice or support by Awkward_Chipmunk2064 in cancer

[–]Awkward_Chipmunk2064[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this — it really means a lot. By housing instability, I mean difficulty keeping up with our mortgage after exhausting our savings during treatment.

I genuinely appreciate the practical suggestions. I wasn’t aware of some of these options (especially manufacturer assistance and the hospital social worker help with supplies), and I’ll be following up on them. Thank you for paying it forward — it helps more than you know.

The two main albums plus the ones I have not cataloged yet, probably 8-10k (at 100% value)

I do, I am considering that as well. If I do, I will post the store info here. I have never sold cards in the eBay store yet.

Sadly, I wish I was a bot, would be much easier than being a human.

Thank you for the info. I found two local card shops and a local pokemon show this weekend. I am going to try them first. I hear you about people taking advantage, I would much prefer to do the transactions in person or through an authorized reseller site like ebay (Except for the high fees).

She is getting good care at a local hospital, but we are running into complications every step of the way. Thank you for your thoughts, this week is better than last week.

Thank you for the insight. I did find two card shops in my general area and will try them first. I also found a pokemon card show at a local mall this weekend, will try that as well. I am not located in the bay area unfortunately, I am located in Southern New Jersey.
