Getting the pain in my head gone

Donation protected
My name is Katarina. I am 25 and currently live in Tennessee but I love to travel the world and explore everything that I possibly can. I enjoy so much about this live but as of late it as been a little harder to do so.

As many of my friends and family know I have been waking up with migraines daily since January. After several months of them not going away I decided to see a doctor. Several visits later and more headaches (will be listed in the timeline below) I get an MRI that shows I have some form of growth in my frontal right lobe and that is what I know of that. Shortly after that information was found out my cash well ran out, I missed work(and am still struggling to go to work due to the migraines) and now I cant afford follow up visits or medications because of that. 

So in turn now I am struggling daily to make ends meet let alone seek further treatment/prescriptions without assistance. I currently have about 3k in outstanding ER bills and my copay with each visit ranges 50-80 dollars per visit. Each medication for generics only costs 10 with my prescription plan but still I cant afford that. I dont know how much I will need to see this through but its scary and with how bad my head hurts, with everything that has happened to date I cant help but feel a little helpless. 

What I need help with is paying the er bills and other bills I have outstanding as well as further care going forward so that I can get this pain out of my head. I have pictures of the receipts and stuff to date albeit missing a few items. I am more than happy to display proof of this whole endeavor.

Anything helps, sharing, giving or just even reading my story and showing you care means the world. Honestly I wouldn't have ever set this campaign up to help me if it weren't for friends badgering me to do so. 

Timeline
Started having migraines and headaches in January
They grew in intensity as time progressed
in June I saw a primary care physician and we started testing a myriad of drugs, none of which helped. 
I had a few scans, xrays, ct scans and in July I got an MRI done.
My doctor stated there is a small growth in the frontal right lobe as well as some pressure on my sinuses.
I went to a neurologist and was prescribed some steroids to possibly reduce the size of the growth.
A few weeks later I was having a particularly bad day and it got to the point that my body started feeling numb, my sense of what was up and down going all over the place and so I went to the er.
I was given an IV and drugs while my friend Lyanna and Zach kept me company. I was then given a spinal tap after 7 hours in the hospital. 
The spinal tap relieved some pressure and I felt a little better. 
4 days later the pressure came back.
2 weeks later I went back to the ER with a similar situation and received another tap and sent on my way
1 week ago I was at home and I passed out, when I came to I was weaker than I had ever been in my life, laying on the floor I yelled out to my roommate for help and the called 911, which promptly rushed me to the ER again. 

I am now in limbo, I cant get further help without going to the ER because I cant afford the drugs, the copay or the coinsurance.

I have BCBS insurance through my employer but I cant afford the other expenses and my daily expenses either.
