Nidia,

Definitely get the screening done first. Carol went to an ENT who did not charge for the office visit or Biopsy procedure (didn't like what he saw) and immediately referred her to another ENT specializing in H&N Cancer here at Shands. His office assisted Carol in getting a 100% full rating City Contract that covered everything and no requirements for payback. Shands also assisted Carol in getting Medicaid. Medicaid pays for everything and hasn't been denied anything she requires to fight this disease.

There is a lot of financial help out there and IF they find anything they may be able to assist or point you in the right direction. Best of luck.

Linda
