Nik,
I'm very sorry for hijacking your thread. I do so hope you can cope with waiting until the months go by, and that your tests will be negative (benign or whatever). I'm very sorry you're having to deal with this on top of everything else.With respect to my situation in Texas (Noa and Allison) here's the pickle.
I don't need a mammogram. I know I have a lump in my breast. But, what will another mammo accomplish? Confirmation? I could afford a free one, but not a low-cost one.
And, if I had a free one, that showed I had the lump still...then what? I can't do anything about it.
Well, I could sell my car, and divest myself of all 'assets' (clothes, household items, etc.) in order to afford state help for medical care, and maybe then get medical help.
I suppose my feeling is, why bother. I'm looking for work, if I find a job with health insurance I will definitely have a pap smear, mammo, etc. If I don't find that job, well, then, that's ok, too.
Why prolong everything? I just want good hospice care. And, as a hospice volunteer, I know they take 'charity' cases.
Thanks for your conern! You all are very sweet!
xoxo
Shar
