Not a rhetorical question

Thanks Forgotten. We are trying to put the maximum amount away we can for this issue. It's not only the current, but the projected expenses of this ugliness. We hope the Oregon BK court can agree on this matter, as it's not something I'm willing to "lay down and die over" now and in the future if I have no money left over for treatment that could mean life or death.

When it comes to be we are before the court and if they wont allow my legitimate expenses on this issue, (current and projected) and it becomes a fight for life, every local, and distance news station and news paper across the nation that will listen will know.

If it makes you feel any better medical expenses are allways allowed no matter how high as long as you can prove it is what you actually spend.

If those expenses go up a modifcation due to increased medical expenses also should not be difficult.

I am putting $5k/year in to my flexible speding account and have another $200/mo above and beyond that for medical expenses. There were no issues.

Best of luck to you, I wish you the best!

Seeing a lawyer at 4:00 today we hope is "the one". (who will champion our case for us well enough to sustain life. We are about 10k over the means test). However, After reading my eyes out on this site and across the web about BK laws, we fall nothing short of being at the mercy of the BK court for Oregon.

One of my oncologist gave us great news yesterday on my 6 month bone scan. clean, no new shadows. However, they did find "something" else that I have to go back in for more tests on. It's a never ending roller coaster that has your stomach in knots, sleepless nights, fatigue, anxiety, cold sweats, and on and on and on.

Being financially challenged at the same time, yet being over the means test is adding stress I really do not need. I'm tired and I'm scared, yet fighting with every ounce of my being there is to try and balance it all out.

I need to give this over to an attorney I can put some hope in that he knows how the laws will work in my favor. But it's really up to the BK court if my expenses are justified in the end. My expenses for this cancer I'm fighting are high, for prescribe and non prescribe medical and medical supplies not covered under insurance. I'm told this cancer is going to get me, but not with out a long hard fight from me.

Isn't strange to know how a BK court could actually be handing out a death sentence by rejecting the expenses? What does anyone's life mean to them? What would anyone pay for one more day on this earth to watch a fav tv show, to play one more game with grand kids, to say good night one more time to their wife, to walk their dogs one more time through the park, to enjoy one more sun set, eat one more candy bar... what's it worth? Is it that 10K over?
