I asked my mother today on how much I was spending for my Cinacalcet (Anti-hyperparathyroid) and Renvela (Phosphate binder) alone with already 12% tax deduction and 20% persons with disabilities (PWD) privilege deductions and still I had come to about figuring out that I was spending around 13,000 pesos or about $257 dollars per month!
Those are for my main medications only and the prices are already had been deducted with discounts. But if I were to include my hospital bill expense, my appetite enhancer, and payment for a new dialyzer I still needed another $127 dollars. And yes I still have to pay for an extra bill to the hospital where I am being treated with dialysis considering that my government health insurance covers it full plus they charge extra if the patient uses health insurance, they are such a shark.
I also have to factor-in my calcium and Caffeine pills as well to that so I will just have to struggle in earning that amount per month now which would mean that I have to really double my efforts because there will be nothing left to save for my intended goals.
My only hope is for steem price to go up in value so that I could be able to get my Parathyroidectomy so that I will no longer have to take Cinacalcet anymore because of its price and also I am desperate to take it out from my life because of the misery that it causes me regarding my appetite issues which is always in the crapper for more than two years now.
I am a bit confident that steem's price would go up at least to a dollar because of bitcoin's bull run due to some factors affecting it and I am praying that soon I will be able to feel like normal again even if I am still at dialysis and maybe with a stroke of grace from God will also be able to get a kidney transplant even if the kidney would come from a cadaver because for me it is now or never and the risks are all worth it even if I would pay with my life.
