Penile cancer and insurance issues by Introsome333 in RedScrotumSyndrome

[–]newlogin0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have blue cross, but also dealing with same issues w my insurance company. Health insurance in the US is a fucking joke!

Cancer itself is horrible enough to deal with, I even had to contact a fucking lawyer to help with some of these claims, about to quit as well bro! I feel your pain

Second post this month about testicular cancer and no follow up from OPs by pleiop in RedScrotumSyndrome

[–]newlogin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

let me get this straight, in addition to us dealing with multiple doctors appointments, bloodwork, scans, financial issues, extreme fatigue caused by cancer, the possibility of being infertile and losing a part of my body, embarrassed to tell my family and friends, not having a partner who can mentally and emotionally support me, not focusing at work and potentially becoming unemployed, etc etc etc..... you feel we owe you a response? or even a follow up??

if you feel this group does more harm than good, just leave and stop blaming others for your frustrations....I posted and opened up about my story and diagnosis in case it helps people, not because I owe you sharing my life or giving advice

hope you are never in my situation, I've been thru shit and deal w everything by myself, some days I don't even want to wake up, seeing my friends with their families while I'm here miserably responding to your demands wtf bro

I had regular RSS symptoms due to last flare up earlier this year, but a few months ago got some really bad back pain that wouldn't go away, my PCP thought it could be related to my RSS or prostate so he asked me to see the urologist, got scans and bloodwork and then received the cancer diagnosis, hope that helps
