Old questions, but the answers are new to me
02/10/13 11:13 AM

I have just in the past 48 hrs received my diagnosis. I will not see my case manager for one week from tomorrow. I know that in the meantime I will believe that every cough and sniffle I have means the end. My real fear is the money issue. I am a graduate student, so I have room and board. What I do not have is a lot of disposable income.
Will I be denied medication because I can't pay for it?
This is actually my most immediate fear.
My next fear is that I will be too sick to continue school.
My biggest fear is telling my family.
Thoughts?
