Ripley - I am so sorry you are in this horrible situation. But you have to believe it when the people who care about you tell you NOT to wait a month. No matter what the circumstances. There is ALWAYS something you can do, someone you can talk to or get someone to help you make phone calls to get an earlier appointment and cry, scream, yell. My son waited until the cancer got to a Stage 2. He had no insurance, no job, recently divorced and was in therapy for suicidal depression. He had no cash no credit and had sold everything he had. Hospitals do take care of you. Even if 10 people tell you NO, they can't help, the next person could say Yes. You do what you have to do to make a difference in your health. You can worry about the rest, later. My son ended up going bankrupt, but he is enjoying life, cancer-free 7 years later. There are and have been plenty of people in your same circumstances, and they would not, and did not, wait a month to get the biopsy. Please, do it NOW. (BTW-Cheryld is NO drama queen.)
