I do believe I know why

I honestly believe that the building that I work in and still do work in, is the main cause of my cancer. I left work for years with horrible headaches. I would leave work, go home and go to bed and sleep until the alarm went off the following morning.

After my diagnosis, I tried to get disability so I did not have to go back into this building. I was denied. I called OSHA and they checked the building out and found out that there was stagnet air and very little oxygen in this building. Hence, we now have a new "air" system. This still does not get rid of the mold, mildew, moisture and all the critters that come with the environment.

Yes, I am still here only due to insurance. Is there anyone on this site that is fighting the awful disease not have insurance? If so, could you please give me some advise on the ups and downs of not having insurance?

Me and my body would love to work a part-time job but I don't see how this would be possible since part-timers do not recieve insurance.

Thanks in advance for any help
