  • I don't know how else to say it, I have cancer! This was definitely not in the plans. I just wanted to update you all on what's going on and what comes next.
    If you want to help, I have a GoFundMe set up for my initial medical costs, will which undoubtedly be crippling.

    Thank you.

    So sorry to hear this... here are a few things I learned working as a financial analyst for a hospital system. Medical Bills in the US are negotiable. Pick apart the bill and communicate issues to the hospital, they will lower the price if there is an error (there is always an error). See if you qualify for charity care (every hospital has to offer this). See if you qualify for Medicaid. If your cancer is rare you may qualify for free treatment at the National Institute of Health. Do not let fear of debt get in the way of treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

      I echo the above comments, the top comment needs so many more likes. I manage insurance contracts at a federally qualified health center (FQHC). A federally designated health center whose purpose it is to not only deliver primary care to Medicaid, Medicare, and uninsured patients, but provide resources for essentially all aspects of life to those that need them. In this case they could help with determining Medicaid eligibility, navigating insurance, helping with sliding fee scale eligibility which can provide little to no cost care, an affordable primary care doc, a care management team who might be able to assist with the chronic care management of this, and really anything else. An FQHC that has an outreach and enrollment team or care management team could connect you to resources at the health center or beyond. There also exist safety net hospitals who could provide hospital care that function similarly in terms of who they’re made to deliver care to, but of course the best help would be what the commenter above is saying. The quality of care provided by FQHCs and Safety Net Hospitals can wildly vary, some being as good as a normal health center or hospital, others being abysmal. But hopefully this information, in conjunction with the other comments, can at least provide an option that will help you better navigate the criminally confusing US healthcare system and get the care you need. There are so many resources out there for folks to utilize, the US just does a horrible job at telling people they exist. I sincerely wish you all the best.

      @@KmusikOne Apparently, YOU don't know anything about our healthcare system, either! The fact that the US spends more than any other country on its citizens' healthcare is NOT the flex/brag that you think it is.
      Why? Because we're STILL unhealthier than the Canadians despite all of that spending and their wait times! Did it ever occur to you that we spend so much precisely BECAUSE our citizens are so unhealthy?
      Our citizens are so unhealthy because SO many people cannot afford preventative care and medications, so small problems become BIG problems that require BIG spending. Slightly elevated blood pressure that goes untreated turns into severe hypertension, which causes kidney failure and strokes, which forces people to show up in the ER one day needing critical care that MUST be provided; if they have no insurance, or are unemployed, it just might be YOU paying for that critical care. And when hospitals aren't fully reimbursed by the government (which they often aren't), that gets passed on to YOU in the form of raised costs for hospital services. THAT'S where America's spending goes.
      Lastly, we don't wait months to see a doctor in the US because SO many our nearly 400 million fellow citizens simply can't see a doctor, which frees up access for those of us who can. Look at this guy, who can't schedule an appointment with a doctor because he has no insurance. THAT'S why we can get sooner appointments. That's not something to be proud of.
      You also say Canadians "pre-pay in taxes" as if YOU aren't *after-paying* for people's astronomical critical care costs. In America, you're going to pay your OWN enormous bills, as well as the bills of many other people. In Canada, you "pre-pay" a reasonable, predictable amount in taxes, in exchange for no out-of-pocket costs for services that you WILL one day use yourself. If America's system made us healthier, you would have a point, but our health outcomes are inferior to Canada's despite America theoretically having the best healthcare in the world.

    Jimmy Carter had a brain tumor and was able to receive an immunotherapy drug called Keytruda, and his success with that treatment is worth noting.
    Cancer is one of the most studied diseases and there is a protocol for each case and type, but there is always a treatment.
    As far as timing and waiting, yeah that can be upsetting but honestly it might take some time anyway to get all the tests done and treatment plan in place so be easy on yourself and don’t react, take long walks, work on your stress.
    How do I know .. I’m sharing bc I’ve been there since 2017, and I’m going to thank you bc your show on YT and others helped me. I’ll pray for you.

My advice (when advice is usually unhelpful) bring your partner with you to appointments to record it / take notes, and drink water. Lots of water. Water is good. For everything.

    I’m not in the medical field but had a family member with lung cancer that metastasized to the brain. First step for my family member was the biopsy and, after diagnosis, came the radiation. Hopefully the marketplace insurance gets you in the door to get service. You can always try to negotiate the patient responsible amount with doctors and hospitals. Maybe you’ll only be paying high out of pocket $ for the outpatient biopsy and, by the time you get the diagnosis and schedule radiation, you will have the better insurance through your job which will cover a larger portion of the radiation (after meeting out of pocket maximums).
