I don't say that lightly. Michaela has been at doctor's offices and having test and procedures done since 2009 that there is no way I could ever pay it off. I had them put me on a $30.00/mth payment plan. I don't even look at the total anymore. It's useless. Each time the bill comes, I call and pay over the phone and wait until next months bill comes. One thing that I learned through our history of illness is that stressing over the finances doesn't make it go away...it just adds to the bad health.<br />Please do what you need to do to keep yourself healthy and happy :)Mary Hudak-Collins livingthescripture.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181851742870395058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85496489102823240.post-79235362328784703862011-11-14T01:19:55.182-08:002011-11-14T01:19:55.182-08:00Dear Jan it feels to me that you are very hard on ...Dear Jan it feels to me that you are very hard on yourself. Everyone would be knocked out with their feelings if they get to know they might have or have cancer but you go to see your friend because you care for her and make her aware of what is important to do. That to me seems pretty amazing. And dealing with your whole family around is pretty hard job. I have cut mostly all contacts to my family because I can not deal with it at all (I do not have children though that would be different I guess) and showing your emotions is a lot especially as being one of us. It is a lot that you have to deal with all in all! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and a candle burns for you to send you strength.

Yes! confrontation has always, always been incredibly difficult for me. It has taken me so many years to get to the point of realizing anger is a natural response -- its rage and abuse that is not okay! I get angry. I respond...way back when I pushed it down and resentment formed. Just like you told your friend take care of your health, show your family you care. I think when we are true to our feelings and LET THEM OUT we are showing others that we find ourselves to be of value. I tell my Children that it is more than okay to get Angry; it is what we do with that anger, because holding it in will only make it worse. At-least you let it out...we have to do it before we can learn to "do it" differently next time. And, there will be a next time because people inevitably disspoint -- we're human!<br /><br />It sounds like you are setting some healthy boundries. <br /><br />Have you thought about contacting different Cancer organziations about special screening programs? Or surrounding hospitals, places that do the screenings, search the internet for ways to negotiate charges. Just tell them that you have catastrophic type insurance that you cannot afford the testing. Tell your Doctor and if he can't help maybe you can find one who will...not sure where you live it may require visiting one in a large City. Depending on your Age maybe there are additional programs available for you to help offset the cost. If the procedure is done at a hospital contact the hospital administration office. It may take some work but exhaust all avenues before you dish out that large deductible. I ended up finding a program for a medication that I had to take -- it was almost $400.00 a month. <br /><br />Good Luck!Amy @ mommetimehttp://mommetime.me/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85496489102823240.post-11076841037404407792011-11-13T02:06:06.811-08:002011-11-13T02:06:06.811-08:00Jan, keep believing that things will become okay a...Jan, keep believing that things will become okay and they will.
