Don't think of it as asking for help. Think of it as people that want to help.I know. I really hope it ends up being covered

I know I brought up the idea of a GoFundMe when you had breast cancer and you said the same. But I really do think there are plenty of people who are willing to help you.I know. I really hope it ends up being covered

It makes me glad I live in the UK and have the NHS... Even if you do wait longer.

They don't. Or they file for assistance. Through the medical company.

Do the GoFundMe, Sassy.I know. I really hope it ends up being covered

If you can't get a pharmacy card.
I get it. I hate to ask for help. With a passion.
But, you know, sometimes you just need a hand. Everyone does.
The site is easy. Set up for people to donate, if and how much they choose. No pressure.
Worrying about the medical bills cannot be good for your stress and recovery levels.

I had a recent blip that requires some pricey short-term medication.
My insurance is commercial, and covers the entire script. (Not all commercial insurance does.)
With government funded insurance it’s a tossup. Either it’s not covered or the co-pay may be astronomical.
The script runs $4000+ a month out of pocket.
Our insurance system is a hideous mess.
(Commercial being insurance provided by employers to employees, in case you’re unfamiliar with the term.)

Well. Good news and bad news. The MRI showed no issues. Everything looks good. The bad news. No answers there to explain the abdominal pain. Now I wait to hear what the next step is.
I followed the advice you offered of the go fund me and swallowed my pride. I'm not sure why asking for help is so hard. I guess because I feel so useless right now. No amount of arguing with myself makes it less so. I know that I am going through a lot. I know that my body is being poisoned. I know that I need to go easy on myself. But watching everyone around me pick up my slack and know that I can barely help. Sucks. It really hurts.

Sweetie. No matter what your doing the right thing. You're doing what you need to do. Don't ever second guess yourself. You do what is right for you and your family. That's what matters now.

OK.
I think you should bring it up with your PCP or if they've referred you to a Gastroenterologist, ask him/her about it.
Either way, I hope that they figure out what's wrong with you and get you on the medication or path that is needed.

I’m going to take this as good news.
I’m sure they check for the easy and obvious bad possibilities first and, if they didn’t find those, then that is good news!
You did have serious surgery, your on loads of medications and not eating right, is it definitely not all of that?

Thank you. I Googled it. Seems like a good thing. And yes I definitely already have the gastroenterologist so I will talk with her.OK.

I'm sure that all plays a part in how I feel. But it's definitely not the cause of the pain. Having half my pancreas removed probably has just pissed off everything inside. So there could be a million reasons for the pain. I just don't like being on pain meds so I'd like to find the problem.I’m going to take this as good news.

Does the hospital offer counseling services, Sassy?
I would think these types of feelings are not uncommon. It's a tough situation. Most of us place some value in our independence or what we can do for others, and any type of extended illness robs us of a little piece of that sense of self.
The surgery recovery and chemo hits and pain don't help. If the hospital doesn't, surely they have a group they can recommend.
I've heard it can be helpful.
So sorry. This is hard.
Glad you started the GoFundMe.

^^^Great idea. And, donations can be anonymous, which helps anyone concerned with privacy.
