I need a colopscopy treatment and I dont have health insurance, what do i do?
I got test positive with the virus that cause cervical cancer and I need to get colopscopy done, I don’t have insurance, I’m not working at this time, and I’m going crazy thinking about it. I need a low cost clinic to help me. Any sugestions?
We don’t know where you live. The best course is to ask around especially
at the doctor’s office. Ask your doctor who ordered the HPV test help you.
I can’t believe all doctors in your area would refuse care for lack of payment.
That did not happen in the 1980′s and 90′s where I practiced cancer medicine.
You know first hand what is broken in the U.S. health care system.
Whoever (MD) advised you to have a colposcopy should be helping you get one.
Good luck.
Hopefully, you can get help from the places that help the poor in your area; you could ask your library for a list of these. Also, and most importantly, you need to know God, your spiritual Father, then pray about your life. He can help you live a better life. As God is love, life is primarily about love and relationships in order to have a rich and full life. Also, you need to know God’s Son, Jesus Christ, in your life as your Lord and Savior as Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins. Having Him with you will give you God’s blessing and forgiveness, as you live God’s way. We need to know and follow God in this life so we can go to heaven after we die, and so we can get God’s help now. Not following God leads to hell, eternal suffering. Instead, there is an important prayer to pray to become a born again Christian. This prayer should be said with faith in God and a sincere heart:
"Dear God, I know that I am a sinful person and I don’t want to be like this anymore. I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross as payment for our sins, and I want to accept Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever so I can receive God’s forgiveness, guidance, and go to heaven after I die. Thank you, dear God, for your mercy and guidance; in Jesus’ name. Amen."
After saying this prayer, you should check out a Christian church like Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran.
Also, get into their Bible study group so you can learn more about God, Jesus, and God’s will for your life. The Bible is God’s instruction book about how to live a God-honoring life so you can go to heaven after you die. The church can also get you baptized and prayed for. You can pray for yourself daily too. God guide your life.
Please check both the National breast and cervical cancer early detection programs website and you may also want to check Planned Parenthood.
A colposcopy is just to get a better look at your cervix a biopsy may be taken to confirm your Pap findings. Many times in young women with low grade cell changes then treatments are not needed. Request a copy of your most recent Pap test and take it with you when you find a clinic that will help you.
I wish you luck in finding help.
