Cervical Cancer Stages

Question: I have the beginning stages to cervical cancer. I don't know what to do now.? I have the beginning stages to cervical cancer. I have been told it can be cured, but I don't have the money or insureance to get it done. I have thought about turning to the american cancer society but I am afraid they will turn me down and wont be able to help at all. I am scared and don't know where to turn. If any one knows of anything that will help in any way please let me know.

Answer: Don't worry about paying for your treatment because where there's a will, there's a way! You could A) Go to the Social Security Administration Office in your area and try to file for Medicaid. B) Make payment arrangements. C) Depending upon what state you live in, several states do have programs in place that cover your treatments, therapy, etc. I, myself, live in Colorado and they have a program that is based upon your income that works on a sliding scale and on Dec 17, I was sent to Denver hospital to have a complete Abdominal Hysterectomy and within a week, they determined that I had Early Stages of Cervical Cancer (Stage 2b Cervical Cancer) and shortly after that, I was told that I needed to go for Radiation Therapy (and I had 2 internal and 25 outer doses). In fact, because I didn't live in Denver, they made arrangements for me to go to a treatment center closer to where I live . You want to know how much my treatments, the surgery, etc cost me? It cost me $0.00! Whatever you do, Honey, TAKE MY ADVICE...DON'T PUT YOUR TREATMENTS OFF BECAUSE OF THE COST, AS WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY!!!
