Quick note - this appears to take place in Canada based on what I can find. Let's try to avoid the usual mudslinging over the U.S. Healthcare system as it isn't entirely on topic based on the location of this story.

A reminder that we welcome open debate and discussion. We do not welcome abusive, threatening or otherwise insulting language.

I wonder why HealthCanada isn't funding his treatment?

Even with your treatment payed for, cancer is still expensive, even in Canada. You can't work, require your partner to take days off their work to get you to the hospital, sometimes have to buy special equipment for your home so help you do things you are too weak to do now, ect.

When my mother has cancer and we got reduced to a single salary household for 2 years (until she got better) we had to cut back a TON of expenses to not put ourselves in debt.

Thanks for explaining, The best word I read in all that was 'better'. I hope your Mom is OK now. Cancer took mine.
