My cousin told me yesterday on her 30th Birthday that she has Ovarian cancer. She doesn’t have Medical Insurance anymore. She has one 16 month old and a 4 year old. She tried for Medi-cal and has been denied. She and her husband went to plan a funeral, just incase. What can be done? Where can she get help for Cancer treatment? She was in stage one when she found out a few months ago. Once her insurance was over she couldn’t find out anything else.
Almost 5 years ago I embarked upon the nightmare of Ovarian Cancer.
It starts out with no real symptoms, a general feeling of "unwellness" sometimes bloating in the abdomen and yet you lose weight, sometimes bleeding, sometimes fluid leakage… and by the time you get the diagnosis you are stage 3, and you have a brick wall waiting for you. I am in a very long remission period, I was told 29 months to live…
there is a simple test, a blood test, called a CA125. it costs less than a hundred dollars if you pay for it yourself. If it is elevated, that is a good sign you may have this horrible disease, at a point where it is easy to cure. A history of cervical, ovarian, or other such cancer is often enough that insurance will pay for it… and if you call and ask for it, often they will agree to cover it… Please, get a CA125 blood test done every year along with the gynocological exam… save a life! YOURS…
I have far surpassed what the Doctors said I could do… now I am aiminag for seeing my grandkids get marrried… please do ask about this test, I think it should be as common as a pap smear.
Okay, so I’m pretty sure that I have a problem with ovarian cysts. My doctor felt something on my ovaries and I went on the birth control pill but I’ve lost insurance and ran out of my re-fills and so now I’m having problems again. Every other month my period is coming late and four cycles ago I thought I was pregnant but the test was negative and then I got my period the next day. So I’m trying not to think that I’m pregnant or waste money on a test but it has been a while. My last period started on September 1st. So it’s a week and a half late. I’m nauseous and my nipples are soar which is a sign of elevated estrogen, which can be caused my cysts. I haven’t felt a single cramp so my period is at least a week off, my progesterone levels must not have fallen. So I guess my question is, it’s just the cyst right? And what am I to do about these cysts?! I can’t afford 0 to go to the doctor to get the pill. Does anybody know of any way that I can get a prescription cheap? I don’t believe that I qualify for health insurance for cheaper than 0 per month, I live in New York state.
1991-ectopic pregnancy & L tube/ovary removed, 1995-conal biopsy CIN 3/tubal ligation/adhesions removed, 1996-partial hysterectomy (R ovary remains) due to chronic abdominal/pelvic pain/distension/adhesions, 1998-rectocele & enterocele repair/adhestions removed, 1999-5 cm ovarian cyst identified (not removed due to risk caused by adhesions), 2006–CT scan reveals "somewhat diffuse" pelvic mass large enough to be originally mistaken for a "uterus tilted slightly to the right".
My sister was diagnosed with very bad endo; after she mentioned that my symptoms were similar, I did research. Endo diagnosis is difficult, esp. for a Dr not familiar w/ endo. Is it possible that I could have had endo implants w/ implants left over after hysterectomy? Endo implants can cause more adhesions, cysts, abdom distension. Even hyst doesn’t cure endo. No insurance; paid cash for CT; hard to find Dr who takes cash. I have periodic abd distension, chronic pain, not eased by BM, so not IBS. Anybody?
I am about to start treatment for ovarian cancer. 6 treatments with two kinds of drugs. I don’t know what they are. Does anyone know how much these treatments will cost me? I do not have health insurance.
