I'm not even sure he knows what a good health coverage plan really means or how important it is...but he's being taken care of...as for a place to live, etc...he lives with his mom and relies on extended family to take him to and from the Brown Cancer Center. Sure does sound to me like he's getting the treatment he requires, even without insurance.
Chub, I will pray for your nephew and wish him the best. I am also glad he has a family to support him in his sickness and thanks to the doctors who are treating him. Since this is a real account of someones family member I will respect you and anything concerning your nephews sickness and hope the best for your nephew and the great family support he has. Best wishes!
