I was told by my doctor yesterday that I need a hysterectomy. I have been having incredible pain for nearly 10 years because of fibroid tumors in my uterus and I was just diagnosed with a cyst on my ovary. The cyst needs to be removed and examined, and the doctor said I really need the hysterectomy. I know that the hospital will work with me on a payment plan. My problem is, the doctor wants his entire fee upfront. I have no insurance, a new small business that doesn't make much money, and two teenagers at home. I'm separated from my husband. I qualify for Medicaid, but the program I qualify for does not help until I've accumulated the bills, and then it's based on some weird scale. So, I can get some assistance once I've had the surgery, but I can't have the surgery until I've paid in full. You see my problem! If anyone knows of any organization that can help me, please let me know.
