Take care of you first & worry about the $$ later:heart:

[Mr_Pat]

Nuka, I woulnt fuck around with that shit if I was you...

[deadheadskier]

you can't afford not to.

Get it done

I'm sure the bill seems daunting, but just do it. As long as you pay what you can afford every month, even if it's $10, you CAN afford it.

Many hospitals will reduce bills, even down to zero if you meet certain income guidelines.

All best wishes

You MUST have it removed, Don! You cannot put a price tag on your health cause without it, you have NOTHING!

(you've got lots of good advice here)

um.... free health insurance in Mass for low income people.

your not making over 30 grand a year suddenly are you?

[Don Nucka]

I'm going to have him reevaluate it in a couple weeks and do whatever he suggests, as that is what the insurance will pay for, whatever he recommends. I do find it interesting that when i post that i may have a precancerous tumor i get a few well-meant comments, yet let certain other people break a nail and its a 5 page long "areyouok????" thread......

Shortly I will be, and those are the horns of the dilemma

[Milarepa]

well dont delay. you might not be happy but a death sentence will seriously make you wish to just about anybody you did something about it allot sooner.

this board doesn't get as much traffic as the family board, but yeah, I know what you mean.

I would definitely do something about it ASAP.

[Sunshower]

Please do not wait too long!

[Don Nucka]

BTW its still there, and now my right hand goes numb and tingly at random times

You should probably have that taken care of as soon as possible as it is now likely compressing a nerve.

This. Plus better to take it out while it is pre, than wait until it has morphed.

what they said.

radiation, chemo and lengthy hospital stays are more expensive than a simple excision of a pre-cancerous mass. good luck with this.

[sarah b.]

I don't know anything re: precancerous masses, but I wonder if perhaps his demise might've been at all connected to this, if he could've thrown a clot, or something. Either way, this is a good reminds-me to take care of health shit sooner, not later. Death tends to do that. (boo)
