i genuinely believe my insurance is going to kill me. they had 20 days to approve a scan to find out if i have cancer. i found out last night at closing that they just didn’t finish the paperwork. i have to wait another month or two now

Insurance is a scam istg. The only reason we even need it is the whole medical system is for profit and highly unregulated pricing. You pay a bunch of money for people to help you get care and half the time they don’t do it properly and you CANT get timely care anyways

Oh I am so sorry! Hopefully that fast tracks the scan so they can get a better idea of the extent 💔

it’s not a total shock, we found a suspicious brain lesion almost a year ago. luckily it hasn’t grown but this also means nobody is rushing for imaging or any testing. to quote neurosurgery “it’s probably a tumor but it’s fine” and then he left without answering any questions. his response to me asking if it was malignant was “it’s probably a grade two”. i’ve seen a lot of people since then and many of them share that sentiment. i now have a good primary and neuro oncologist but it legitimately
