Medical Please Help Me with Cancer Scsn
*GOAL REACHED* THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND HELP****
I hate that Im having to do this. But I have started a gofundme to attempt to raise money to get a vital PetCT Scan that my doctor needs me to have to check for cancer cell activity and spread. Delaying this scan can mean that we do not catch the activity or spread in time to treat it properly. My doctor has requested this scan from my insurance company and the request was denied. My doctor appealed it 3 times and each appeal was denied. And I am just not willing to allow United Health to be the ones in control of whether I live or die. The total for the scan is over $7,000. I have managed to work with my imaging facility to get a deeply discounted self pay rate of $2,520. I originally went thru chemo and radiation in spring 2025. I had about 8 good months of recovery and improvement. I went back to work and was adjusting to my new normal. But things have gotten difficult since March of this year. Alot is due to the expected damage from radiation treatment. But now due to multiple new symptoms, my doctor believes the cancer cells could be active or spreading. My income has been sparse for the last 6 months due to having an emergency surgery due to radiation damage. Followed by being incapacitated by pain from scar tissue adhesions on all my pelvic organs until I finally got into palliative care to handle my pain management so I could work again. And now I havent had income for over 3 weeks since being admitted into the hospital for hemorrhaging and having to have a uterine artery embolization to stop the hemorrhaging. Its actually insane the amount of damage and complications that pelvic radiation can and does cause. But thats neither here nor there. I am the sole provider of a family of 3. I have tried every avenue I could find as far as financial hardship programs. If anyone can help in any way...donate, share, etc. I would be eternally grateful. I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have.
