<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 8099321, member: 97383"]Thomas, I'm sorry to hear of your medical diagnosis but glad you are sharing it with us. I've never embraced a specific religion so I won't pretend to pray for you, but I would like to share my own experience with stage 4 cancer with the hope it provides some inspiration for you. Don't accept your diagnosis as a death sentence & never give up hope that you will win this battle. Seven years ago I was diagnosed with with stage 4 cancer after going through many tests & a surgical biopsy. My PC physician suggested I see two specialists about various treatments. I was shocked with the diagnosis & began preparing for the worst. I made & paid for my funeral expenses in advance & even wrote my own obituary <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. After a conference with the three doctors, a plan of treatments was offered to me that included chemo-therapy for 8 months, radiation therapy for 6 months that was grueling & painful, followed by an unusual surgical procedure that involved 3 doctors. My medical insurance wouldn't cover even a tiny fraction of the cost for this plan, so my PC physician said start the plan anyway & apply for financial assistance. I went through the entire plan faithfully & kept this experience a secret from my remaining family & close friends. The staff at the Unity Medical Center gave me the certificate below before the final surgical procedure.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1408165[/ATTACH] </p><p>When the surgical procedure was complete along with the recovery period, my insurance company sent me a shocking bill that covered everything <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
