I just finished Rituxan chemotherapy. For some reason my medical insurance did not cover the treatment. Now I owe the hospital $40,000 (for 4 treatments). My doctor says if the Rituxan doesn't work...we will do another treatment. That will mean, I will have to come up with $80k. I just want to get better and have a chance of living a normal life, (I am only 28). I can't believe that in the US, a person should have to go through the stress of being sick and then have to deal with being in major debt. It seems like every day there is some sort of fundraising done to benefit cancer and other illnesses...but who is there to help the people that are sick and can't pay thier bills? Is there some type of organization that can help me? I can't tell you how much easier my recovery would be without the stress of money. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, does anyone know how much (or little) a hospital will let you pay each month to avoid sending you to collections? Thank you for your advice!

I've heard that past the age of thirty or so testosterone levels continously drop with age. Now we all know that the prostate can enlarge in old age.

Are there any changes to the testes over time (bigger, smaller, changes in structure, etc.......) Does a man's fertility stay somewhat constant? (I've heard of men fathering kids in their seventies....)

Does anyone feel sick after taking naps? This isnt something that worries me too much, because I dont take naps that often, but when I do I always feel sick afterwards. I am completely fine when i go to sleep at night and get a full nights rest, its only when i get tired in the middle of the day and fall asleep. I took a nap today and I woke up an hour or so later and I felt like I was going to puke. This was around noon, and now its 9:30pm and I still dont feel well.

I looked up information online about it and the only thing i can find about these symtoms are people on medications and I am not taking anything. Just wondering if anyone else had this..and if there is anything you can do?
