@toomanyoars I’m glad you felt safe ‘venting’ here on MayoClinicConnect. We all need to do this sometimes. Just know that we’re here to listen. You mentioned that there are limitations on finding answers. Are you anywhere near medical centers but your insurance doesn’t cover? Would you mind sharing what makes your doctor think you might have a tumor?

Hi. The closest decent medical center to me is a couple hours away. Insurance now a nightmare for me. I used to teach. Good insurance, loved my job more than anything but physically but was getting more difficult with the fatigue and pain primarily. Eventually I had to quit working. We live in a state where the medicaid/Obamacare has massive loopholes. We don't qualify for medicaid yet don't make enough for the marketplace so for me to have any kind of insurance I have to purchase 6 month policies, usually aweful insurance that covers very little and pray they will let me renew after the first 6 months. Last year they didn't. One of those use it and loose it situations. I honestly hoped that I could take a year off, get healthier and go back. That was three years ago.
As far as the tumor my physician is basing it as of right now until more blood work comes in on symptoms. Random BP spikes, flushing, sweating, headaches, abdominal pain and others.
