MRI completely results that I only have the Cancer in my right eye!!
I am already receiving bills from doctors and tests. Overwhelming to say at least. I only have medicare and have been trying to get help from my state, California. I keep running into the ozone rewarding this. I call all the time and get a recording telling me to try later. I don't drive very far, only to the market which is 1.5 miles away. I'm so lost. Makes me fill like tossing in the rug cuz I can't afford my medical bills. I know I should keep living in the moment but today, yesterday and several days I feel so overwhelmed. I thought about calling Uber driver to get me to Sacramento, I live in rancho Cordova CA, but I can't even afford that. Sounds like I'm having a pity party and I guess I am. I really don't know where to turn to but write this to you All.

@mountain12: It's overwhelming to be dealing with all the logistics of a cancer diagnosis. You had mentioned earlier that you were treating at UCSF. If that is where you'll be continuing to undergo management for your CM, there are social workers on staff there who ought to be able to provide some assistance in regard to transportation and possible direction for additional financial support. You can inquire with your oncologist's office or see if this link helps: https://cancer.ucsf.edu/support-services.
Let me know if either of these leads help.
