I bet your from the states? Yea just saw that, we don't have to pay for medicine here in Sweden thank god (well the 1800skr) and then its free. Would have ruined me 10times around if I lived over there spending 1 and a half year in a hospitalbed.

Sorry to hear that you were in the hospital that long. I had to spend a few nights in the ER here and there to get IV fluids when I would get real bad but lucky for me no extended stays.
The worst part of the cancer scare was telling my grandmother. She had lost my grandfather and my uncle only a few years earlier and I'm really the only close family she has left. When I thought I was dying I was more angry than depressed, finding out I wasn't was a releif, but in the back of my mind I still wonder some days.. what if it really IS there. Doctors can be bastards sometimes.
I have insurance, so my medical bills weren't as bad as they could have been. Lots of co-pays, not sure how much it wound up being, alot but nothing that broke the bank. I too have a great partner who stuck by me through the whole ordeal. W/O him I don't know how I would have handled it.
Check out the VSL#3 if you get a chance. It is designed to help people with UC.
