well, we're in august now. it's been one year since my life was completely disassembled by a testicular cancer diagnosis.
after all the treatment and bills got to be too much, i decided to start my life over. i left my old job (maybe not the most financially responsible move, but i hated it), i moved home (to a state i wanted to live in anyhow), i landed a new job, and tried my best to get out from under my medical bills along with the others.
well, in the few months i was unemployed, i didn't have insurance. since i didn't have insurance, i wasn't going in for my check-up's. but it was no big deal, evrything had looked perfect in my blood tests, CT scans, X-rays, etc. for so long, i wasn't worried.
i finally got to a new doctor here in ME and got all my tests done.
results: Low density structured masses on my heart and in my left lung.
boy was that a kick in the ass i REALLY didn't need.
