Sick Of Thinking About Medical Insurance
I AM CURRENTLY DOING 1 YEAR OF HERCEPTIN. I AM 5 MONTHS INTO THIS TREATMENT. I HAVE DONE SO WELL THRU ALL MY TREATMENTS. MY HEART ECHO IS 55%, TUMOR MARKERS WERE 13 AND I'M WORKING PART-TIME. HOWEVER I AM EXAUSTED. I HAD SUCH DETERMINATION TO GET THRU ALL OF THIS AND NOW I THINK ITS CATCHING UP TO ME AND I JUST FEEL LIKE QUITING MY JOB AND RELAXING. BUT IF I QUIT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY THAT EXPENSIVE COBRA INSURANCE. WILL THEY EXTEND THE COBRA INSURANCE IF YOU HAVE A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER & ARE IN TREATMENT. HERCEPTIN IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN MY TREATMENTS BEFORE, BUT SOME HOW I AM SO TIRED OF WORKING , TAKING TREATMENTS, DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS AND THE WHOLE RAT RACE. WHY CAN'T I WIN THE LOTTERY AND NOT WORRY ABOUT MEDICAL INSURANCE.
