[medical emergency] so i've seen the doctors
7 months ago
! possible TMI regarding female reproductive system
as mentioned in my previous journal, i came home for a few reasons, but very importantly - to take care of my health. i hadn't seen a medical professional in two years due to my work and financial inability. after saving up, i finally had a proper check-up. some things are fine and even better than before, like my sight, but there are things that have been developing and are not planning to stop. a lot of cancer signs, my whole body has indicators that i am very susceptible to it. but my cervix is the worst example, there is dysplasia on it and the next step is cancer cells. i've been diagnosed with CIN (Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) grade 3, it's not cancer yet but it is the next stage. after losing my granny three months ago and my grandpa ten years ago both to cancer and with my mom actively fighting it and making sure there are no new tumors, i am trembling and panicking. i am feeling really desperate, like cancer is my family curse and i am the next one.
since it was a basic check-up that covered most of my body, not a specific part of it, it was just the first step of understanding my condition. i am going to take more specific tests that should show how i developed dysplasia and how we will be treating it in the future, there are different ways: cryotherapy, laser therapy, loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP), or cone biopsy to remove or destroy the abnormal tissue (according to medical websites) but i don't even have enough money for the tests. the tests might show that it's not as bad as the doctor is predicting, but i am severely stressed because of this whole discovery.
i have tickets home for Saturday and I am going back to work on Tuesday, i have to run the test on Friday and then try to seek medical help in Bulgaria. since i didn't expect such expenses, i now only have $70 in my bank account for the next week. currently i am only looking for funds for those tests as there is no specific treatment assigned to my case. they will cost me around $100, which is not a lot but already beyond my budget and expectations. i will only get my teaching paycheck on the 7th of April, so i have to seek commissions or donations here. if you are able to help me in any way, i would truly appreciate it. i can accept donations to my paypal workingnin[at]gmail.com or try and make some art for you. please, let me know if there's something you can do.
EDIT 23.04: I have received some support, thank you all so much! I am now able to run all the needed tests! 🎉

You have my gratitude, you know that it all helps in the end! It is incredibly stressful but my mom gave me a bunch of sedative meds to calm me down so I am drugged but in a much better condition 😬
