Celeste I don't know where you live currently but check to see if you have a local cancer society or cancer alliance. Sometimes they have help available for patients who don't have insurance. It's worth checking into. Good luck.

wish I could just go in, but I have no insurance and if I need surgery he won't do it the second time. He may not even see me next as I have not paid him off yet. Considering seriously moving up to New York State with my sister and see if I can get more help that way. The first surgery was covered by charity funding for the hospital. What are you to do. I have to put a lot of faith in my God to see me through this.

first time I've seen it take someone's life. So sad. I'm a bit concerned mine might be acting up again. My pelvis is giving me pain and my kidney area along with some pinkish tinge in the urine. I go get it checked again next month. Here's hoping.
