Malcolms Tumor
Donation protected
So.. About 2 month ago Malcolm Josiah had a episode where he was pooping blood and mucus.. We of course rushed him to the ER.. They had no answers for us. Two days later I noticed a lump in his neck that would show when his head was turned certain ways.. We again rushed him to the ER.. after some test they stated he had a solid mass (tumor) in his neck that had blood flow going to it. They refered us to a specilist.. Unfortunately, they are on Aetna Medicaid and the specilist would not see him (we have been to 5 different places at this point). We've been trying to get him in somewhere but unfortunately again it seems like NOBODY will take his type of insurence. Y'all.... Im tired.. Im sad.. I'm broken and just feel defeated. The brown pics were taken last night.. Purple was taken not even 2 weeks ago... Its almost doubled in size since then.... We went to this apt Tuesday... this apt that we've been waiting for.. A apt we got by not paying our rent and bills for the month of September and instead taking that money and paying out of pocket for testing HOPING it would be worth it. This Dr whom we got the referral for.. Traveled to.. Walked in the room and then I kid you not said "ohh im sorry.. I didnt realize he was so young. To do the surgery you're also going to need a Pediactric Surgeon in the OR in case something goes wrong at this age and unfortunately we don't have one here... I'll have to put in a new refferal to UVA I THINK they may take this insurance.. They will call you in a few WEEKS" like what????!??? Did you not look at my innocent babies file??? Did you accept his referral have us travel and think FINALLY this was getting removed and tested for cancer and you never even opened his file..!!! All while telling us how it needs removed ASAP because of growth. This was days ago.. I havent even been able to talk about it because im just so well *insert every emotion that not joy or happiness here* my poor baby has this tumor just growing rapidly in his neck and NOBODY gives a damn because we are "poor". How much can someone take?? Is pulling a John Q the only way to get my baby his surgery and biopsy??? The amount of emotions and stress Trindin and I are going through... I dont wish on my worst enemy. If you know me.. You know I've been through some shiiiiiiit in life... This by far takes the cake. between traveling his twin brother and our 3 other kids. We're just at our limit of no hope. Someone told me to make this page and how even if it raised only $20 thats less gas/travel expenses we have to worry about. So its worth a try even with the embarrassment.
This has by far been the most stressful time of our lives not only on us but on his siblings as well. Please, no matter what you believe.. And even if you can't donate .... Any info you can share at all is appreciated.. Please.. No matter what it is you believe.. Send him all your prayers, energy and light..
