I had a friend who was just starting to file for divorce after 3 years of separation when she was diagnosed with bc. Her doctor told her to put it on hold and she did for a year. When she did file her attorney looked out for her taking everything about her health into consideration. There were no children but she got a large alimony amount and if she became unable to work it would be increase. She had insurance through her work but it was set up that if she lost it and was unable to get or afford insurance he would have to insurance her. She was happy with how it was set up and was able to live comfortable even when she did have to get done work. Unfortunately, she lived only a year after the divorce so he got off easy. Perhaps, that was the reason for such a high alimony at the time. They did remain friends even though he remarried within a month of the divorce. He chose to leave the marriage after 28 years and she wanted to give him enough time to come back if he wanted. Wishing you the best in this difficult time. Sending you a big hug, Sandy
