Teenager with possible OVARIAN CANCER -IMMIGRATIONS WORKERS? |
My sister is 18, never been sexually active, and she just had surgery (yesterday) (to supposedly remove cysts/tumor attached to her ovaries that were causing her much pain and other symptoms). When the doctors opened her up they found out that the tumor (or cancer ?) had spread out to even her intestines & other organs they could not remove anything until they did a biopsy, so they closed her up. Biopsy results will be in Thursday this week. They think she might have OVARIAN CANCER, since the Oncologist was there at the time of the surgery. They also mentioned that they might give her RADIOTHERAPHY sessions or CHEMOTHERAPY sessions NEXT, TO REDUCE THE TUMOR/ CANCER and THEN do surgery. I told my parents to get a 2nd opinion, as soon as they get the Biopsy results. My sister lives in the Dominican Republic and health services are not as good as in the US. I am a Resident Alien, soon to be US Citizen in 1yr or so. The Domincan Republic has excellent medical care available and thousands of US citizens go there every year because they can get good care at a fraction of the US cost. You cannot bring her to the US -- she requires major medical expenses and that disqualifies her from getting a visa, even if you have the hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash needed to get her treatment here. Are you going to put her on your own health care insurance policy? If so you may have a hard time getting her put on as she has preexisting conditions. As a green card holder you can not sponsor her, once you become a US citizen then you can. And, the wait will be a number of years for the paperwork to get her to the USA. Should she be able to get free health care in the US? no she has no right to it. |
