I had a Dr's appointment with an obgyn specialist that I have been seeing for the last 4 years but I missed an appointment with him a couple of years ago and I was just now able to get back into see him. I've been trying to get another appointment with him for the last 2 years but my drs office kept giving me the run around with my referral! I went over a year without a period ( 371 days according to my app on my phone ) then started my period on Friday. Luckily I had already scheduled my appointment with him but when I told him that I've been having painful sex for the last year or so he seems to think I was already in menopause and that the bleeding could be cancer? I cried all all the way home and for several hours afterwards.
He's sending me for blood work to check my hormones to see if I'm in menopause and also for some ultrasounds to check other things too. I don't go back to see him until September 26th tho and won't know the test results until then. The whole thing stresses me out tho cause if I was to have to take some time off from a hysterectomy or chemo if it turns out to be cancer, He's wanted to do the surgery before but I told him that I couldn't afford to take the time off, so we'd just agreed to monitor the cysts to make sure they weren't getting any bigger.
I don't know how I'd survive cause I am not married or have boyfriend that lives with me and helps with the bills so I would be screwed pretty much. I have a lot of bills plus $400 a month credit card bills. The credit card bills are what worries me the most tho cause if I get behind on them, I would never get caught back up with all the late fees and then I'm afraid they would put a lien on my house and then I'd lose my house ;( I've already checked into filing bankruptcy once before but the lawyer said that I had too much equity built up in my house and that if I filed bankruptcy, they might try to take my house from me. Since then, my son has gotten his disability and I was told that I might could file now and them not take my house since he is disabled and still lives under my roof. I'm going to talk to another laywer about that and see what can be done tho.
So, my question is this, I've seen girls start a fund me to help pay for surgeries and their time off for recovery after the surgery. Should I do the same thing somehow just in case I have to have the surgery? Only bad thing is if I wait till I know for sure, I probably wouldn't have enough time to prepare because if the test come back saying there is something wrong, he will probably want to do the surgery right away and then if it's cancer I may have to go thru chemo. I just don't want to start something and then not have to have the surgery and then the guys think that I scammed them or something? In all actuality I probably should have the surgery done anyways. When we talked about doing the surgery a couple of years ago, he sent me to another Dr about my gallbladder to have it removed at the same time so it could all be done in one day. I've been needing gallbladder surgery done for over 10 years but have been putting that off too.
Opinions? What would you do in my situation? Would you start a fund just in case? Any other ideas of how I could prepare too just in case I need surgery?
