The brutal truth is that you ARE sitting on a time-bomb.

There is no gentle way to say this: without treatment, he will die sooner rather than later. I would get to a doctor IMMEDIATELY and discuss your insurance and income situation; perhaps a payment plan can be worked out.

Without treatment, he will not be able to earn a living for long...

In other words, it isn't much of a cost-benefit problem to figure out that no amount of debt or whatever is too great to solve this problem. I think you're unwise to let lack of insurance stand in your way.

Sorry to be so blunt.
