DISCOVERY CARES?? REALLY??

My husband passed away 6 years ago due to illness, and I have been trying my best to survive. I have 2 small children, with a small income. I have been blessed with family that helps, but things have been rough going. <br> <br> 2 weeks ago, I had the misfortune to find a lump in my breast, and the mammogram shows that it is cancerous. It is my belief that cancer should not be cut, as this allows the cancerous cells to spread. The surgeon agree's, and I have been fighting with the Discovery Review Dept to go straight to theater, for a partial mastectomy. <br> <br> They don't agree. It's not according to their \PROCESS\". I have to pay in the R2000 to R3000 extra, to go and have a biopsy done first, so that they can get the correct ICD10 code. <br> <br> And if I don't go for the biopsy, then I will be liable for the full theatre charges - should it not be cancerous enough. I'm being held to Ransom!!<br> <br> Helpful? Caring? Respectful of beliefs? I don't think so. Discovery is too big to care for the little person. The poor people, getting the wrong end of the stick every time. It's disgusting that they play God with their power to decide the fate of people. Why can my beliefs and wishes not be respected??"
