@kivahwrote:In 2001 I had been experiencing various symptoms but I didn't know what it was. I was working part-time jobs and had no insurance. In 2003, I realized that I had ovarian cancer, as my mother died from that in 1982. I still wasn't able to go to the doctor - having no insurance - so I had to wait til November, 2005 when I turned 65 yrs old when Medicare kicked in.
All my life I had insurance until I needed it.
I was right - I had ovarian cancer, stage 3.
I'm very lucky - I had surgery and chemo -- and "I BEAT IT".
I'm now 77 yrs old - and the age doesn't fit the person.
@kivah@ Way to go at kicking cancer’s @ss

I turn 65 in November and I am to apply in August I believe. My husband told me that his insurance will still cover me. However, if he were to lose his job, I will be without medical insurance. I don't know what to do.

@kivahwrote:I was living with my mother in 1982 - her bedroom was in the back of the house and my bedroom was in the front. Every morning I'd hear her in the kitchen as she got up earlier than I did. This one morning, I didn't hear her - so I went to her bedroom - and she was "on the floor." I said, mom - how long have u been on the floor - and she said she didn't know. I called 911 and it took 2 EMTs to pick her up. They took her to the hospital - and after being there for a month, she passed away. She was sick for 2-1/2 years --- but there were many good days - so I was happy for that. She was the BEST mother and I'm still missing her every day.
So deeply sorry about your beloved Mother, truly I am. Leiloni

Dear roni 1, If I were you I'd call SSA & ask them, I'm sure they will be able to answer all of your questions & hopefully put you at ease somewhat. Have a wonderful weekend! Sorry, I can't be more helpful. Leiloni
