Thank you . january.

I had not been to see a doctor in three years . And what got me to go was to look into getting medication for adhd.

that led me to not being able to get help because of one phych doctor.

the doctor after that failed attempt to get help said.

well theres nothing pressing .

we can do the routine health exams in a month or so just schedual an appointment .

so .. i canceled the one I had set up which was in one week because of her sayig it was not pressing .

so it was another two months I think before i got in . and even though when she did the exam and i was in extreem pain and bleeding . and she saw a growth .

when the pap came back normal . ..

well lets just say . I got no call form the doctor or anyhting about anything.
So a week after the pap results i called and said you know Im in pain and bleeding.
so they got me in and then they desided i should have the sonogram .

again waiting quite a while ..

for the appointment . and then to get the results.

so I get the results from the doctor and he tells me OBGYN will be calling to et up an apointment

so in two days Im sitting at my phone checking my caller ID .
hey a number from the university. i redail it .

good morning OBGYN..

I say umm I found this number on my phone ,
she said oh yes we had a cancelation..

they did not leave a message on my machine.

so Im sittng there and say well... I guess I need an apointment.

and she said July 7th. which was another month .. I ask if theres anything sooner .

she said No but you can go out and try to find another doctor.

welll , No I can;t because I do not have insurance and Im on a sliding scale only available at the university.

I did not say this to her it was in the back of my mind though. andn I t came to me after I hung up the phone.

before i hung up I said

in a concerned yet steady voice . i said its been quite a while now . and its my body and no one knows whats going on yet . So Il take the july 7th but if I have cancer you will be hearing from me .

So that got me in in one week .
and I had to wait at that appointment
because the doctor was called for emergency surgery.

so It was a two hour wait. . I had my knitting along.. thank goodness.

cancer shawl for someone else.. LOL!!!!!!!!

so I get the exam and the doctor says we dont have to do the needle biopsy now because thats not gonna be difinitive . you need a DNC . onlt them will I be satified its not cancer .

she left it up to me ,

I said give me a bullet to bite on ..GO FOR IT. !!!! ( manged to only say I want to swear right now .)

LOL!

I loved this doctor .. she is the neatest woman ..but shes not doing the surgery . she is one exceptional woman ..
so I believ Ill meet another one today.

I think these women doing this work are special ..and they are swooping in right now caring for me .. and im thankful they are getting me in right away .. very . I want it out today .. and Im fortunate to have this right down the street and not have to drive miles or relocate .
and there is a new cander center being built here and doctors coming in from all over for poeple . so Im realy VERY fortunate . very

Now to find out how Im going to pay for this.... I have to ask that question.

im now torn about the finacial responsibilty factor.

january , the being pro active .... you realy do have to yell pretty loudly at the university. they have SO MANY people coming in and out . Innundated . and you have to be patient . and its a tough cal to know whos in ne and wh is not ..
ive always been very healthy ..

they did find eleveated liver .... I m hoping that does not mean something serious.

Its VERY easy to fall into the cracks .
and i tend to just say .. your the boss.

this time something told me to not do that.
