Thanks Davit,
The good news. I got through the travel and medical procedure with some pain but I did go which is good. The doctor didn't find cancer which is great but did find severe ulcerative colitis. He said it can be treated so he gave me some samples of a medication called lialda to get me started right away, 8 days worth. I am to see him again in 6 weeks. The bad news is that the medication is over 700 dollars for a 30 day supply at the local pharmacy and my share of cost for it with my health insurance is 166 dollars. When I see the doctor again he said if the medication works he will give me a handwritten rx that I can mail into my meds by mail service where I can receive the meds at no cost. It's a benefit I have with my health insurance, but that he can't do that until we find out what works and what doesn't for my condition. So I guess I will have to pay for at least a couple of months worth of meds from my local pharmacy until we get this all figured out. I spend very little on myself really which is a good thing I guess because I have money put away to cover costs like this. After all planning ahead is important and I am worth it. I do want to get better soon no matter what it takes or costs...So I guess spending my rainy day money on this is for the best.
