Where do you live? My sister was in Mississippi and her story was similar. By the time she got to the oncologist, it was too late.
Compare that to my wife in MA. She “felt bad” in June. We spent the entire month of July doing CTs scans, MRIs, Ultrasounds, Endo-ultrasounds, and finally we had major life saving surgery in August.
A lot of things suck in MA. Medical care is not one of them.
Oregon. Unless you are an illegal alien or a criminal, you don’t get help.
