Hey everybody this is Herlunda (loni) anybody that knows me knows I am a private person and I am usually the one helping others. Now I found myself on the other side of the table. Feb. 8, 2016 I had to have emergency surgery to save my life diagnosis was we believe you have cancer and you are being admitted and slated for surgery. My God wait a minute what.
So I was admitted on Feb. 4 and 5 hour surgery on Feb. 8, 2016 confirmed yes wide spread ovarian cancer. They were able to get out as much as they could but some small dense area around my liver and my lower ab. I woke up in ICU strapped down to the bed for 4 days and had to get 3 blood transfusion. I was in the hospital for 20 days total. My story is no different than any other cancer patient or any other ill patient.
We all share the same story and problem, insurance does not want to pay or cover the bills. So not only are we fighting to live and survive because I refuse to take any $20,000 5 1/2 hour chemo for 9 months and fight it with alternatives, supplements, alkaline water, prayer and etc. But I find myself saying for the first time in my life I need some help because these medical bills are not ending I am already in $21,000 and climbing because BSBC is rejecting bills.
I owe Karmanos alone over $6,000 and have to go back in November for new scan and lab work to see where we are in my fight. I have another $6,000 just to the outside lab that they sent my tissues to test for chemo that I didn't even know about because I was on the table I couldn't protest. I make monthly payments on this bill and yet they still putting them on my credit report and it is so frustrating. I promise if anyone helps me when I get back on my feet I will pay you back and any money left I will give it to one of my friends that is battling breast cancer and fighting overwhelming medical bills herself.
I don't like asking for help but I guess every now and then we all need a little help sometimes. So if anyone would like to donate $1 or $5 I would greatly appreciate it. It's already overwhelming that you are fighting to live but having to fight with medical bills and they just don't stop coming can get a little weary. I am winning the fight my numbers are down to 50 the docs are re scanning me to see 1 of 3 things the tumor is gone, in remission or just slow progression.
Please lift me up in Prayer on Nov. 28 my next scan and blood and pray for me because I will be responsible for this bill as well. Well thank you for reading my story until next time God bless.
