If you were diagnosed with a serious health issue like cancer would you be royally screwed with healthcare costs?



A Florida Couple along with their 17 y/o son all have CANCER and are now selling their restaurant to pay for the massive medical balls they have incurred!!

5 years ago, Kathy Desclefs from Jacksonville was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer that starts in white blood cells.

This August, her husband, Benoit had an inoperable brain tumour and 2 months ago their 17 y/o son Luke has Hodgkin's lymphoma..

They ran a french american restaurant and have owned and operated for 16 years and said they now have to sell it in order to pay for the huge debt they've incurred from their cancer treatment

Kathy said "It was too much, especially when it came back down to Luke. It was just too much"

The mother of 4 has been in and out of treatments since 2015 and now her son Luke, who's a senior at Bishop Snyder High School said he didn't have any syptoms when diagnosed with it until he found a lump on his neck and thought it was weird and told his mom

Despite similar names, the 2 white blood cell cancers differ

Hodgkin's involves the presence of abnormal cell caleld Reed Sternberg cell and starts in the upper body such as the neck, chest or armmpits while non-Hodgkins begins in lymph nodes

His cancer was detected early and is treatable while non-Hodgkins is more advanced

Bonit is starting chemotherapy this month and Luke is currently undergoing chemo as Kathy says if Luke responds well to the treatment then they will know he can fight it...

Their restaurant, The Magnificat Cafe has been hard to maintain with their treatments and bills they've incurred as Benoit has been a chef for 16 years and have had to hire extra help while putting the restaurant up to sale

They hope someone can keep the family style restaurant as an online fundraising page was created to help cover costss which has raised over 22,000 out of 157,000 goal

If you incurred a serious health related disease right now, would you be screwed with the costs?

Hey, just because you don't have cancer doesn't mean your problems aren't legitimate. There's always gonna be someone that has it worse.
