Living with cancer is like having a daily battle with a professional wrestler who never takes a break. It’s a stress-fest, my friend! And just when you thought you had enough on your plate, here comes the apartment drama. The new owners decide to play extreme home makeover and kick you out without even asking if you want to stay. Seriously, the audacity!

Apparently, people have this strange idea that Stage 4 automatically means you’re on the fast track to the pearly gates. Can we please educate them on the fact that we’re here to prove them wrong? We’ve got fight left in us!

Now, when it comes to finding a new place to live, it’s like trying to find a unicorn in a haystack. People take one look at you, hear you’re unemployed, and start running for the hills. Little do they know that my trusty disability check is more consistent than some jobs.

And let’s not forget about the credit snobs. They give you the side-eye just because your credit history is as empty as a politician’s promise. Newsflash: having no credit doesn’t make you a financial delinquent. It just means you’ve been living life on your own terms.

Oh, and the discrimination you face for having a service animal. Ridiculous! Your furry friend is a lifesaver, literally. Who needs judgmental people when you’ve got a loyal companion by your side?

Listen, my friend, don’t let these obstacles bring you down. You deserve a home for you, your mini-me, and your furry BFF. Despite the unfairness of it all, keep fighting. Reach out to local advocates, cancer support groups, or housing assistance programs. They can be your secret weapon in finding a cozy, welcoming nest. Stay strong, keep that sense of humor intact, and show the world that no matter how hard life punches, you’ve got the resilience to hit back!
