You only have 2 choices Go to a doctor or ER or wait for your appointment. What are you going to do if you need major surgery and no insurance? My wife's breasted cancer surgery and reconstruction was over $100,000

I had breast cancer. I wouldn't wait for the appointment on the 25th. You need to be seen now.

You need to sto putting it off. If it is breast cancer, immediate treatment is imperative.

Community health services are low or no cost. Do not delay. Borrow the money. If you are lucky it is a drainable cyst.

When it comes to cancer, if that's what this is, which we can't diagnose online, the sooner the treatment, the better. I hate that you can't get a diagnosis because you can't afford it. It's very different where I live, everyone gets a diagnosis and treatment, the government pays. We have one of the top cancer clinics in the world, no cost to those that reside here.

It took me a long time to realize how bad off most Americans are when it comes to their health. Having said that, I will never be in your position, and I'm so grateful for that, but it is what it is, you have to work with what you've got because of where you live. This is your life You need to find out what's going on, the sooner the better.

Do you have family? Can you borrow money from them so you can at least find out what's going on? If treatment is necessary, that family should be willing to pitch in to keep you alive, no matter the cost.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this level of health care. It may as well be care only for the rich. :(

Please find a way to get a diagnosis, or move to Canada, get immigrant status, and get your health care, something that's a necessity, not a luxury, for free.

This is your life. Find out what's going on no matter what. Money can be borrowed. Life can't be.
