Cuz I've been so stressed out for DAYS now....  I am a six and half year survivor, have had rib pain since 2005, and the other day my right side ribs started hurting much worse than my left...  It's the same pain, just more intense, and I don't have to press on it, I'm always aware its there.... 

Heres the kicker....  I HAVE NO INSURANCE....  My gut feels just like it did before when I was originally dx'd..... I'm scared just like before....  I just want to crawl out of my skin....

Picked up a welfare application today and filled it out..... Any other advice as to what to do....

Hugs......

    If possible, try a free clinic.  They may be able to fast track you into Medicaid coverage.

    Sending strength and hope,

    Normal-

    Did you have rads on that side? Did you have Herceptin? Rads and scar tissue can make that pain.

    If the pain is really bad you can go to the ER and set up a payment plan, and you can reduce that by much lower than the asking price.

    Good Luck
