what i need

I am not usually good at directly asking for things, but here's a list of concrete needs that folks near and far can help me with. I might need more help if I am fatigued by chemo, sore from surgery, or what-not. Also, cancer is expensive. I've spent over $600 just in co-pays in the last three weeks.  I didn't budget for cancer (weird, I know), so things are tighter than usual for me.  Thanks, in advance.
