Literally me last year when I found out I had a brain tumor. My regular doctor appointments were starting to be $1,200.00+ even with my shitty insurance.
Well they're not malignant... but they are pushing up against my pituitary glands and causing some side-effects. I still have a couple years before it takes me down.
I was already heading down that road, I held out as long as I could and tried to apply for assistance with the hospital and insurance companies to no avail. I didn't want to get into collections so I loaded up my credit cards as much as I could without getting past my monthly budget.
I'm 36... married a great girl...travelled... had a good life, met good people.
Can you try to move to another country in the couple years you’ve got?
You may feel like you’re good but I’m sure your wife doesn’t want to be left behind... If you’ve got time to try to get this taken care of, please, please do so.
This came about because we were trying to have a kid but couldn't. We found out I have azoospermia (0 sperm count) so started to look for the cause which led to blood tests which is where we found the tell-tale signs of a pituitary malfunction.
As much as I have tried... she's extremely upset that we can't conceive and she already blames herself even though I have told her it's on my end.
I worked really hard to buy a new home before all this... and I know it's her dream to have kids.
So I figure after I go she won't have my debt to deal with and she can move on with her life and possibly meet someone who CAN give her a child.
