My brother has cancer and it starting chemo and isn't able to work. I'm looking for organizations that will help with the cost of living. I'm already doing SSI benefits but we don't think that he will qualify. We live in Missouri if that helps. Thanks

My father-in-law has been on kidney dialysis for a year and he has diabetes. He has bad circulation in his legs along with hardening of his skin due to nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD). This past week, he went in to the doctor to see why he has been having digestion issues (mainly frequent diarrhea) and swelling in his belly. His CAT scan showed that he likely has cirrhosis of the liver.

After reading what I wrote, I wonder why I am even posting this question. I think I am in denial about just how sick he is. I was wondering if there is anyone else out there who has had experience with this combination of diseases. How long can someone live with all of this wrong with them? I think I need to face the truth. My main question is, how long do we have left with him?

He is near and dear to my heart. Thank you to all who respond.

I'm hearing this through certain people, and apparently they do, but the government wont do anything because they get so much money off of their patients.

True or False?

I know that epipens are mostly used if someone is having an extremely bad allergic reaction, but would an epipen also be an effective first aid treatment for a heart attack since it administers a dose of epinephrine (adrenaline)?

My father is 63 years old, in general good health. he is helping me raide my daughter since i escaped an abusive marriage. he is still working, and frankly has too since his proffession has always made enough to just make ends meet but not save a whole lot.
anyway, ten days ago he was diagnosed with pneumonia. his only symptoms were a high fever and mild pain when breathing very deep, but a chest x ray confirmed the diagnosis. oral and injected antibiotics, both taken daily and twice a week IV antibiotics were completely inneffective, and yesterday, when his fever hit 102.5 despite the treatment he was hospitalized. the pleura seems inflames on the x ray, not sure what that signifies.he is on 4 different IV antibiotics. this morning his fever was down to 99 at last but by this afternoon was back up to 100.3.
i feel sick with worry. i have been praying, but being a foolish mortal, i need someone who has knowlage in this area to tell me how worried i ought to be. will he be OK?
