I really think I need to relocate for cancer treatment

Posted by anon0 @anon0, 23 hours ago

I have had numerous bad experiences with the cancer facility. Now I’ve been waiting over one month without treatment while I waited for a biopsy getting sicker and sicker. I don’t know why they couldn’t have asked for an emergency or an expedited biopsy. I finally got the biopsy done but now waiting to hear back from them. They have many bad reviews on google. I’m wanting to relocate for my treatments but have very little savings and feeling very sick. Any ideas what I can do?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

anan0,
If you or a loved one needs information or resources about clinical trials, the Patient Care Center can help. Contact the Komen Breast Care Helpline at 1-877-465-6636 or email clinicaltrialinfo@komen.org. There are some newer drugs for metastatic breast cancer.

I don’t know where you are receiving your treatment, but I am at the Mayo in Phoenix. This place is incredible and amazing. I highly recommend giving them a call and seeing what they can do for you.
You don’t know if you don’t ask
There is inexpensive housing in Mesa and surrounding areas if you look in this retirement communities.
There are literally hundreds of these retirement communities in this area that offer a reasonable alternative to the high cost of housing. Good luck! I moved here from New Mexico because there was no good Healthcare where I was plus the Mayo can’t be beat. At least that’s my opinion.

There is no reason it should take more than just a few days for biopsy results to be given. I had received my cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I would recommend them, or any of the Mayo Clinics, in a heartbeat. If you are not getting the care and attention that you need, and quite frankly deserve, (I will try to keep it clean) be the worst pest they have ever seen. There are so many agencies and organizations that can help if you need financial assistance. If your doctor isn't any help, check with places like some local health clinics or perhaps public health can connect you with someone that can help. Maybe even someone in an office at your local hospital can steer you in the right direction. YOU are important and you matter. You should not have to suffer. If I could, I would give you the biggest hug and make sure you know that there are lots of people out there who care and are willing to lend a hand. I pray that you find that help. May God bless you.
