Ever since my cancer diagnosis, our entire outlook on life and finances has changed.
For the last 3 1/2 years, we were making such huge payments, we have fallen behind on our current taxes. Our plan has been to make small tax payments as often as we can to keep everyone at bay, and pay for real when the bankruptcy was discharged.
We knew we had to do make some serious changes to get through this,
so we called our bankruptcy attorney for the first time in over 3 yrs, I
think. He was very sympathetic and genuinely will be trying to help us
through this new hurdle. He gave us some hope!
Since we have such a good payment record on our monthly payment, he thinks we may be able to file for a new payment plan that would include our remaining balance our current outstanding taxes.
Instead of our remaining 18 monthly payments of over $6000, we would start over with a new 5 year plan that would be much more affordable, and get rid of the tax monkey that is currently on our backs.
If we can get some financial relief, I think I'll be in a much better state of mind to fight the cancer.

Check in after 3 1/2 years
I've made this blog public for the first time.
Our position hasn't changed since the last post. We are still making our payments and surviving; though some of our current taxes are getting behind because the $6,000 monthly payment doesn't leave much to work with.
We were working hard to get caught up when we were clobbered out of nowhere with a new challenge. I have been diagnosed with Rectal Cancer. We don't know yet how bad it is or how much down-time I will need to deal with this. My health aside, I'm very concerned about my husband and the busines..
I run the office, all of the books, the household finances, and our children, ages 13 & 16. My husband has done nothing but work his butt off since this whole saga started and now he will be saddled with a whole new burden. I'm not down yet, but I expect I will be soon.
I just started a Go Fund Me page - http://www.gofundme.com/zf46ee6e6 just in the hope that a little money could be raised in case we can't make one of our bankruptcy payments. It's very important that we meet the terms of the bankruptcy so we can keep moving forward.
We are very optimistic that we will beat both the bankruptcy and the cancer. One day at a time.
