Recurring cervical cancer has stopped me from working

Hello beautiful people. My name is Lorraine Sinclair and and for the past year and some change I have been going through some health issues. It started off as just pains in my pelvic ares and it would come and go and I was able to control it by taking pain medications. I had cervical cancer back in 2019 so I was concerned. I went to a gyn doctor that I was referred to by the primary doctor I was going to at the time. When I went to this doctor she basically told me she couldn’t swab anything because I didn’t have a cervix anymore. I told her that’s not what my doctor in NY told me. She said I had to be checked every 6 months to make sure it doesn’t come back. She insisted that she has never heard of that. So she said the only thing she can do for me is check my ovaries being that I still have them and she checked them with an ultrasound, said she didn’t see anything and sent me on about my business. I continued to seek out doctors to help me because the pain wasn’t letting up and it started to get worse. I was then referred to get a endoscopy and a colonoscopy. When the results came back they told me I had GERD and IBS-C and said that’s what’s causing my symptoms. I went along with that for a while. Up until the pain started getting so bad I started limping. The pain was starting in my lower back and shooting down my leg. So I went back to the doctor to let them know what was going on. This had to be about 6 months ago. By this time I had a different insurance and started going to Kaiser doctors. With every doctor I have mentioned my previous cancer in the past. No one ever took that into consideration. So because of my symptoms, they told me that I had sciatica and that made the most sense to me because everyone that had sciatica told me they felt the same thing. I was living off of pain medications until the just stopped working. I’m guessing my body got used to it. I started with ibuprofen, then naproxen. I was still working with the pain just letting my coworkers know to move a little slow because I can’t walk to fast. Oh I’m an EMT by the way. I work for 5 star transportation. Up until last week Thursday when the pain hit me so hard I couldn’t walk or get out of the bed. The pain was so bad I kept throwing up. My daughter called 911 and I was taken to Piedmont Henry where I found out I had a mass in the pelvic area. The next morning I was transferred to Emory and I was there for a week. Within that time, I had many MRI and pet scans and a biopsy and other test done. It came back that I have a 10cm mass in my pelvic area that was pushing against my ureter and causing urine to back up into my left kidney. They had to give me a nephrostomy tube that’s hanging out of my back to keep the urine from backing up into my left kidney so that my right kidney won’t be working overtime and stop working. Thank God I still have normal kidney function. The mass is also pushing into my colon, bladder and parts of my left iliac bone I believe. I was told that recurring cancer doesn’t get staged but if this was my first time, this would be considered stage 4. I am only 38 years young, I have 2 beautiful daughters, 1 is autistic and they are still very much dependent on me. At the moment they have me on gabapentin, morphine and stool softener and oxycodone as needed until this mass shrinks. I start my first treatment of chemo May 8th and at the moment I am unable to work. I’ve been applying for remote jobs. I’ve had friends sending me many that I’ve applied for and I’m just waiting to hear back. But I’m definitely a paycheck by paycheck living person and I don’t want to lose my place of residence or get any needed utilities cut off. So I’m asking in this time of need to please help me out. Any and EVERYTHING will help. Even if it’s a care package. I’m accepting all help. I’m trusting in God and believing that I will make it through this. That’s Gods promise to me and I’ve prayed and everyone else has prayed so now we will just sit back and watch God work his miracles. Thank you so much and God bless ❤️ *UPDATE* I am still dealing with this cancer battle but I feel like I’m not getting the help I need here in GA. I’m being told that I don’t have long to live (2 years tops) and I’m only being put on pain meds. I feel like I can get more help, being that the cancer hasn’t spread to any major organs and I don’t want to die any time soon. So I’m moving back to NY so I can try to get better medical care. My plan is to get to Memorial Sloan Kettering and see what better options they have for me. I am still very young and I have a full life to live ahead of me. I am asking for help. I need funds to help me move me and my two daughters back to NY and try to settle in there as comfortably as possible until I’m able to get the help I need from government resources. Any and all help will be appreciated God bless you all!
