I have been to several Doctors. Thanks for the suggestion & I do agree. I have been sick long enough now that my emergency fund is gone..sold about all I can sell..including my mutual funds. I currently do not have health insurance as I am self employed and currently can’t afford nor find coverage. I am NOT trying to make an excuse & I am open to a different opinion.
Thank you
If you can get yourself to a teaching hospital or a good medical school with a research department you might get treatment as a teaching subject. My uncle was treated successfully and free for a rare cancer at one of the UC schools. Check it out with your current doctors.
I’m reading of your situation and regarding the financial end I wanted to relay something to you.
My brother recently had a serious issue with his heart. He lost his insurance last year and is now self employed but has never been able to pick up other insurance (it’s a lifetime condition-preexisting).
Anyway, we live in a small town but have an extremely fine community hospital. He was in there 6 days and of course paying for it was on his mind the entire time. Anyway, in discussing the situation with staff and members of the financial office, we discovered that not-for-profit hospitals must allocate so much to their budgets to cover bills for situations of the uninsured.
My brother recently received the response to his application for assistance: he is eligible for 100% coverage and his bills will be taken care of.
Make sure to find the not-for-profit hospitals in your area. Make sure that you contact the financial counsler in any facility you may have to stay in.
Also...another poster said it: Get at least 2 more opinions. My son developed allergies early in his life and they were quite serious. Make sure you find a ‘specialist’ that is completely aware of your geographical area and all the foods you consume.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
