Thanks anyway.

Don’t let the debt control your health.

I have had my gyn and mammogram exams checked every year.

Do it, Karen.

I understand where you’re coming from, there was a situation we were without health insurance for a time because we couldn’t afford it, but I had an emergency operation which we ended up paying via installments with interest for three years. Because my husband insisted just get your gyn exam done, we’ll worry about the money later, I went to my gyn, paying the full price of the dr’s visit (groan, more debt), I found I had a health issue that had to be treated via surgery like yesterday because I’d put off going to the dr as we didn’t have the money then.

As it was, the surgery saved my life. If I had gone to the doctor on a regular basis (and yes, accrued debt with dr visit bills), the condition I had could have been caught earlier and hence a less aggressive and less expensive treatment could have been employed. I had a close call and had to learn the hard way.

You’re taking care of your hubby and kids, how about yourself? Believe me, debt is
just a money issue, it’s all relative. But when it comes to your life, please don’t take the chances.
