Injury/Illness
Colon Cancer
I thought I just had stomach flu, so I didn't go to hospital until I could not walk anymore. My hemoglobin was 2.5, and they said, if I didn't come when I did I could have died. I had emergency surgery where they removed a tumor the size of small cat. Now I am on chemotherapy every other week, and it has been hard. It came as a surprise and was shocked when the hospital sent me home the first time, then ended up going back for surgery. Then when the surgery went bad, I ended up with an abscess. It's been a nightmare not being able to work and waiting on disability. the process is so long, but the bills still come in and want to be paid. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
