TRAUMATISED CANCER PATIENTS

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INVASIVE MALIGNANT MELANOMA LAST MONTH. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL HAVE TO BE OPERATED ON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THE DOCTORS ARE NOT SURE HOW FAR IT HAS SPREAD. ONE OF THE TREATMENTS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS SINTINEL LYMPHNODE BIOPSY AND EUGENE MARAIS HOSPITAL IN PRETORIA WHICH IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN THAT REGION THAT HAS THIS FACILITY. A LETTER OF MOTIVATION WAS WRITTEN BY THE PLASTIC SURGEON THAT WILL OPERATE ON ME THE 14TH OF THIS MONTH WHICH IS NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY. BANKMED REQUIRES ME TO PAY 20% OF THE HOSPITAL FEES WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO AS A SINGLE PARENT WITH NO OTHER MEANS OF INCOME. I AM PAYING FOR MEDICAL AID MONTHLY, I AM ALREADY TRAUMATISED AND NOW HAVE TO BEG AND PLEAD WITH BANKMED TO WAIVE THE 20% PAYMENT CAUSING FURTHER TRAUMA AND STRESS. BANKMED I AM PLEADING WITH YOU GIVE ME FULL AUTHORISATION AND WAIVE THE 20% AS I CAN NOT MAKE THAT PAYMENT. I SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS. THIS IS MY LIFE THAT HANGS IN THE BALANCE. AND I NEED THIS TREATMENT AND OPERATION TO TAKE PLACE
