Re: Having the Big C you see who your friends are

["Nick Markowitz Jr." <nick-markowitz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

from all I can find out I have one of the best teams of doctors available
for what im going thru UPMC has a very highly rated reputation .Plus best
protocol being used . The radiation is working and tumor has slowed its
bleeding and is shrinking. side effect from continous infusion chemo are
there but I am coping with them but very weak compared to how I ususaly feel
alot has to do with my anemia from the bleeding.

Finding out now after doing more research on colon cancer I had several tale
tell signs last couple of months that should have clued me to a problem. But
when you go and look at most literature it never mentions these symptoms.
Pisses me off they never tell any one to look for these. Had I known I would
have been in sooner.
They think I have had it for about a year.
Most likely major syptoms came on after my vehicle wreck caused hard trauma
to my body.
Thank god that doctor checked me and found the mass or i could still be
playing around not knowing what was going on. they still insist you only
need a colonoscopy starting at 50 and now i know better. MOTHER FUCKING LOW
LIFE SCUM INSURANCE COMPANYS telling everyone to get them at 50 what there
not telling people is if theres a family history you need checked from age
35 and up every other year.
You think these MOTHER FUCKING LOW LIFE INSURANCE COMPANYS would pay for
these tests early for high risks groups but they would rather pay high
treatment costs and let us die instead.
My wife has a lady friend in 30s who has had parents on both sides with
breast cancer she is worried and they will not pay for simple mamography
test.

I could not get insurance from these MOTHER FUCKING LOW LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANYS becuse too many prexisting condtions so all i could ever get was a
very low end cover nothing policy. It is just wrong. As many millions of
dollars every year i save these MOTHER FUCKING LOW LIFE SCUM INSURANCE
COMPANYS. By installing and maintaining life safety systems which protect
millions in Property and those who live and work at them plus all the
electrical code violations and dangerous conditions i clean up and make safe
every year .You think when i needed them they would come thru for me and
every single time these MOTHER FUCKING LOW LIFE SCUM SUCKING MOTHER FUCKERS
HAVE FUCKED ME OVER HARD.
When i got severly hurt and permanately crippled back in 92 they fucked me
hard twice they refused to pay for the accident and then did not want to pay
me for disabilty policy i had in place and i had to take them to court these
MOTHER FUCKING LOW LIFE MOTHER FUCKING SCUM. INSURANCE COMPANYS.

I JUST HOPE THEY KNOW THERE IS A SPECAIL PLACE IN HELL FOR THEM SOME DAY.
