Hi, I posted the post below in another ttlte here, and a beautifl person by the name of "jessica" repled back wth some nice words including the following of which you will read in part directl;y after my original post.
Thanks for your support!
Love,
Kevin Eric and Brandon
>>>Hello. ok, this is the 2nd time i tried writing this. The 1st time it all got deleted before I could send it and I lost it all.
I wont go into great deal this time around, but I will say that I went into emergency this past fri for what i though was an ongoing problem with my congested right lung and possible a pinched nerver in my shoulder area.
The reason it took me so long (3 months) to go in is because I have a very severe phobia of anything medical. It makes me sick just to think about going. Very,very sick!
Anyways. I went in finally and they gave me a catscan and lung xray. Dr came back and said she found alot of cancer in my brain and a mass in my lung, and that she wanted me to be admitted that night. I told them I couldnt do that because I'm a 45 yr old single father of 2 young sons, ages 8 and 10, and that they were with me in the waiting room. The dr did everything she could to talk me into staying, but ultimatly released me by signature and told me to call a dr. she recommends, since I didnt have one of my own. Well, it was late fri night and i planned on calling the dr recomended by her this morning(mon) which I did. Come to find out, he didnt accept medicaid, of which I have applied for and will be recieving shortly(they will go back 3 months and pay).
My problem now is finding a dr who will accept me right now without my official medicaid in effect. I have to wait for my girlfriend to get here from Cali. on aug 5th before I can go in, because I need her support, love, encouragent and caring for myself as well as someone to care for the boys in case they put me in the hospital for period of time, which I'm almost sure is going to happen. Its killing me to think about losing myself to the boys. I am all they have, and visa versa! We are the 3 amigos.
Does anyone have any words of support, encouragement, and information of what to expect in all this, and most importantly where I can be seen by a caring and understanding dr in MICHIGAN who will accept me as a phobic, without medicaid, and lil or no money in my pocket at the moment?
Do all of us "poor" people just have to lay back and die while waiting for coverage?
I'm so sick and so very scared of the outcome, my position, and for my children right now, I'm losing so much sleep, food, and tears.
Hope to hear from someone soon!
Thanks for listening!
Kevin
>>Now A part of "Jessica"s reply which brought me here:
Last (and certainly not least) I am glad you have found this forum. You will hear from folks who are going through similar things and I hope you will find some comfort in that support. There are many who visit here that care deeply for the struggles people face with this illness. You also might want to post to the "Financial Issues" thread on this site to see if any people in that audience have sounder advice than me"
