I am in need of medical help, drs at the free clinic and hospital er think i may have colon cancer, i have a history of cancer in 2001, i recieved help from the american cancer society at that point, problem is now the funding has been cut to such a point and donations down that there is not place in the whole united states that can offer help with recieving a colonoscopy, i have no insurance and no income at this point i am too sick to work, is there any help available out there? i live in ga just south of atlanta and too far south to recieve any help from the hospitals that do offer it, and i am just stuck, i do not want to die just because i can not recieve any help with this matter. I have tried to apply for medicaid and can not recieve it due to the fact that I have no children under the age of 18. I have searched and searched, the colorectal cancer coalition, the american cancer society, a local cancer aid program and got turned away by all of these, the free clinic i use is only able to send me for certain tests, all of which show a blockage and need more testing to figure out what it is, a colonoscopy is what is needed. I am living in severe pain and at this point have become homebound due to the bowel problems i am experiencing. I have nowhere else to turn as family has helped me out all they can with helping me with a place to live and the only thing i can recieve from the govt is food stamps, which help greatly, but that doesnt help me with medical care. The only doctor that said he would work with me on a sliding scale will charge 844.00 to do the colonoscopy, sliding scale fee at that!!! if i could afford that i wouldnt be going to the free clinic to get my blood pressure medications! I am afraid that the blockage that has been found is growing daily as my pain increases daily. I would appreciate any help out there or helpful advice from anyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post.
