The Difficult Situation of How to Continue in Search of Health (ENG) (ESP)

in Catarsis2 years ago

Today I have realized I have 8 weeks since I had my surgery and I can see I am getting better. I went to see my doctor and he evaluated me and he was surprised the way I looked. He said that my wounds are well, and he said that now I have to go to the next step. He had to make sure the cancer cells are not traveling around my body because they can create a metastasis in any other part of the body.

The doctor sent me to see an oncologist who is an specialist in cancer treatment. She was the person who was going to evaluate my exams and to determine what kind of chemotherapy I needed. Apart from the fact, that she had to evaluate the results of all the chemical exams that will measure my blood and urine values. I spent one whole day collecting urine for the urine clearance which is going to see the functioning of my kidneys. I had tests of my urine clearance, urea, creatinine and glycemia. I thought I was going to rest of so many tests, but I can see I can't get tired.

I went to see the oncologist with great expectations that my total healing didn't need many chemotherapy. The expense of the oncologist was very high. When I got there there were many people waiting to see her and some were waiting to have the chemotherapy to be applied. I spent all morning there waiting for my turn to be attended. My leg was aching a lot and I crushed my leg with the wall and it got worst. I felt I wanted to die, my forces were spent, but I knew I had to wait until the end.

When my turn arrived I was so surprised that there was another doctor to attend me, he was an internist instead of the oncologist who was going to do the evaluation. I enter in crisis, I just couldn't believe this. The internist told me that he was going to evaluate me because the oncologist was sick at home because she had a surgery in her gallbladder. I didn't mind if she couldn't attend me, but the problem is that they didn't tell me that she was sick because I could make another appointment. The case is that you pay before you see the doctor. I felt cheated. I didn't like the internist because I thought he wasn't prepare enough to deal with my case. I went through the evaluation with the promise that the oncologist was going to see me without paying.

In the evaluation they revised the tests I brought with me and the internist sent them to the oncologist. Once she received the exams she assigned the treatment. That was all done online. I felt so disappointed. 5 days after I received a telephone call telling me that I had to go to the clinic for the treatment I needed. I only need 6 chemotherapy sessions every 21 days. I didn't feel confidence with the treatment because I feel I wasn't evaluated adequately and until today the oncologist hasn't seen me. She said that she is coming back in January. She is having a Christmas holiday.

Among the papers there is a list of all the medicines you need to buy, there is also a document that you have to take to the Social Security which tells about the chemotherapy you need and it says too that you were evaluated by the oncologist and that you are in good conditions to receive the treatment. Lies, and more lies, but of course I went to the Social Security office to see all I needed to obtain the free treatment. Well in fact it was my darling who goes to everyplace I need to go because my leg aches a hell.

In the Social Security is not easy to obtain these kind of medicines because they are of high cost. They gave my husband a list of all the documents needed. I have to give all the exams I have done since I started with the cancer and full copies, I need too a residence letter signed by the police, my marriage certificate, letters of 2 people where I authorized them to receive the treatment in case I can't received it in person, my identity card, and the last blood and urine tests I have done. My husband took all the documents with their respective copies to the SS office and they said they only were going to give me 2 medicines.

The Social Security can't give me the total of medicines I need because they say they don't have them. Out in the pharmacies cost $12000. There is one chemotherapy that costs $1300, but they can't give it. We know that the mafias rob them and sell them at $400. The rest of the medicines we have to buy them. It is sad that we can't count with this service and that is the reason why so many people are dying of cancer because they don't have access to the whole treatment. Next Monday my husband have to go for them with a small container full of ice to preserve them until the day I will have the whole treatment. I hope to have better luck to collect all the money I need to buy the rest or apply only the treatment I can afford.

Hoy me di cuenta que tengo 8 semanas desde que me operaron y veo que estoy mejorando. He ido a ver a mi médico para evaluarme y se ha sorprendido de mi aspecto. Me dijo que mis heridas están bien, y me dijo que ahora tengo que ir al siguiente paso. Tengo que asegurarme que las células cancerígenas no viajen por mi cuerpo porque pueden crear una metástasis en cualquier otra parte del cuerpo.

El médico me envió a ver a una oncóloga que es especialista en el tratamiento del cáncer. Ella era la persona que iba a evaluar mis exámenes y a determinar qué tipo de quimioterapia necesitaba. Aparte de que tenía que evaluar los resultados de todos los exámenes químicos que medirían mis valores de sangre y orina. Pasé un día entero recogiendo orina para la depuración de orina que va a ver el funcionamiento de mis riñones. Me hicieron pruebas de depuración de orina, urea, creatinina y glicemia. Pensé que iba a descansar de tantas pruebas, pero veo que no me debo cansar.

Fui a ver al oncólogo con grandes expectativas de que mi curación total no necesitara de mucha quimioterapia. El gasto del oncólogo era muy alto. Cuando llegué allí había mucha gente esperando para verla y algunos estaban esperando para que les aplicaran la quimioterapia. Me pasé toda la mañana allí esperando mi turno para ser atendida. Me dolía mucho la pierna y sin querer me la golpee contra una pared y se puso peor del dolor. Sentía que me quería morir, mis fuerzas estaban agotadas, pero sabía que tenía que esperar hasta el final.

Cuando llegó mi turno me sorprendió mucho que hubiera otro médico para atenderme, era un internista en lugar del oncólogo que iba a hacer la evaluación. Entré en crisis, no podía creerlo. El internista me dijo que me iba a evaluar porque la oncóloga estaba enferma en su casa porque la habían operado de la vesícula. No me importaba que no me pudiera atender, pero el problema es que no me dijeron que estaba enferma porque podía pedir otra cita. El caso es que se paga antes de ver al médico. Me sentí engañada. No me gustaba el internista porque pensaba que no estaba lo suficientemente preparado para tratar mi caso. Pasé la evaluación con la promesa de que el oncólogo me iba a ver sin pagar.

En la evaluación revisaron los exámenes que traje y el internista se los envió al oncólogo. Una vez que ella recibió los exámenes asignó el tratamiento. Todo eso se hizo por internet. Me sentí muy decepcionada. 5 días después recibí una llamada telefónica diciéndome que tenía que ir a la clínica para el tratamiento que necesitaba. Sólo necesito 6 sesiones de quimioterapia cada 21 días. No me sentí segura con el tratamiento porque siento que no fui evaluada adecuadamente y hasta hoy la oncóloga no me ha visto. Me ha dicho que volverá en enero. Está de vacaciones de Navidad.

Entre los papeles hay una lista de todas las medicinas que tengo que comprar, también hay un documento que tengo que llevar al Seguro Social que habla de las quimioterapias que necesito y y también que fui evaluada por la oncóloga y que estoy en buenas condiciones para recibir el tratamiento. Mentiras y más mentiras, pero por supuesto fui al Segurido Social a ver todo lo que necesitaba para obtener el tratamiento gratuito. Bueno de hecho fue mi esposo que va a todos los sitios que necesito ir porque me duele la pierna un infierno.

En el Seguro Social no es fácil conseguir este tipo de medicamentos porque son de alto costo. Le dieron a mi marido una lista de todos los documentos necesarios. Tengo que dar todos los exámenes que me he hecho desde que empecé con el cáncer y copias completas, necesito también una carta de residencia firmada por la policía, mi certificado de matrimonio, cartas de 2 personas para autorizar a recibir el tratamiento en caso de que no pueda recibirlo yo en persona, mi tarjeta de identidad, y los últimos análisis de sangre y orina que me he hecho. Mi marido llevó todos los documentos con sus respectivas copias a la oficina del SS y me dijeron que sólo me iban a dar 2 medicamentos.

El seguro social no me puede dar el total de medicamentos que necesito porque dicen que no los tienen. En las farmacias privadas cuestan 12000 dólares. Hay una quimioterapia que cuesta $1300, pero no la pueden dar. Sabemos que las mafias se las roban y las venden a 400 dólares. El resto de los medicamentos tenemos que comprarlos nosotros. Es triste que no podamos contar con este servicio y esa es la razón por la que muchas personas están muriendo de cáncer porque no tienen acceso a todo el tratamiento. El próximo lunes mi marido tiene que ir por ellas con un pequeño recipiente lleno de hielo para conservarlss hasta el día en que me hagan el tratamiento completo. Espero tener más suerte para reunir todo el dinero que necesito para comprar el resto o aplicar sólo el tratamiento que puedo pagar.
