last year, i was taken several different days off from my job. I changed different doctors the same year because nobody found my problem, i went on april, last year to a gi specialty and per her i was ok, on december, last year, i went to my las changed doctors and he called me hypocondriac person, per him i did not have cancer, on april this year, i went back to him with a big ball next to my stomach, he told me it was like an hernia. All those doctors were giving me nexium, santac, pepci, neither one gave me a stool test, when i was telling them that my stool was black. On may 2011, i went for a second gi opinion (second endoscopy), i went to my vacation and the second day, my second opinion called me to come back to NY, i demanded him to tell me the truth, " he said, kilmara, i am so sorry but you have a tumor. The next day i was in NY. He sent me to an oncology, it was not one tumor, it was four of them. I went to chemo for three months, then on November 4, 2011 i had my surgery, they removed my whole stomach. i have my case with a lawyer agains those five doctors. Now, i am depress, i can not eat properly, i lost a lot of weight ( before i was 115 pounds) now i am on 84 pond, like a skeleton walking around my house. Today, some doctors play with your health, they just want money from your insurance. i was working with a local hospital as a senior biller, I prayed to God with my all heart to save me, because my older son is schizophrenic, paranoic and chronic depression illness. when i found out about my cancer, it was very desvasting for me, i took 2 months to tell to my children, my daughters and my son. I did not want to tell to my son, but i told him, it was very painful to see my children faces, my friends. But, my co workers and my bosses gave me strenght to continued fighting with this cancer. I am so angry, so mad with those five doctors. On january 6, 2011, my disability from my union will be ended, my surgery is not heal yet, my financial problems incresed so madly, but i have a good family and friends helping me moral, emotional and financially. Thanks to my prays, God hear my pray and he save me, the pathology results came negative cancer. On january, I will be back to work, the same hospital with the same wonderful people, not matter my surgery still open, i need to go back to work. I just want to thanks from depply of my heart to DOMINICAN SISTERS AND CANCER SUPPORT TEAM, they helping me a lot. I am very grateful that still we have wonderful people like them.
