Ok Realitybias...I'm going to smack you into reality here so brace yourself.
Worrying about finances when faced with the probability of having a cancer that kills roughly 50% of those diagnosed with it isn't the right thinking. Let me ask you a question...how much is your life worth to you?
Schedule an appt with an Ear Nose and Throat Dr and have him check it out. A biopsy is the only way to determine cancer by the way.
As a male I understand your thought process but money means nothing when it comes to life or death.
You're welcome
