Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Abijann, I hope you don't have kidney cancer. Reading that took my breath away. I will say a prayer for you. The bills are crazy! I just got a bill with 6 of my Aranesp shots on it. They charged almost $1500 per shot. My insurance should be paying for those since I have to have them weekly until the end of my treatment...they better!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Abijan, I'm blessed to have Medicaid but I remember what it was like before to need to see a doctor and not be able to afford it. I certainly hope your doctor is wrong!~~~ Best wishes, Debbie > > I put off for two weeks going to the doctors because I knew I would > end up dealing with the insurance company and having bills that were > outrageous.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Abijann, Sorry to hear such solemn news. I pray the doctor is wrong and the radiologist got it right! When will they know for sure? I'll keep my fingers crossed that if there is something there it is benign.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Did the doctor not say what the scan revealed? Sometimes my doctors like to read the disks themselves, and others like to confer with the radiologist. My hepatologist always has a little meeting with his radiologist there at the hosiptal. I guess I don't understand what is going on with regard to your kidneys, but I am very very concerned, Abijann.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 this was my sentiment too. the radiologist reads first from what i understand. their opinion most of time is what the physician goes on. Dear abijann i pray that is is not as it seems and all will be alright. love sandra ________________________________ To: livercirrhosissupport Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 5:41:24 PM Subject: Re: Love doctors/off subject Abijann, Sorry to hear such solemn news.
