Kidney Cancer
Dean
Heathcare Status: Employer Insured
An ultrasound found a growth on my kidney. A CT scan clearly showed the growth but was inconclusive as far as cancer. All the doctors recommended a biopsy. The insurance company (lived in Florida at the time) said they wouldn't pay for the biopsy unless I was in pain. I of course lied. The biopsy revealed kidney cancer before it had spread and I only lost a kidney. Would I still be alive if I hadn't lied?
