I am sorry to hear about your problems. I too will be scheduled for surgery. I only have medicare and am wondering how I will fair finacially or if I will be turned down because of lack of money to pay. M previous husband had lung cancer and his bills were over omillion dollars. Luckily, his insurance paid it all. I am not that lucky. Good luck and God Bless you.
