There are numerous programs in the DC area that provide medical care for those with no insurance.   I am sure once you get looking around on your computer you will find an abundance of info on affordable or free healthcare in the DC area. You should definitely have it checked out though.  You could be putting yourself in a worse situation than you could possibly imagine.  Find some way to pay for a visit or get to a free clinic but have it checked now.  Good luck to you.

Hey there. The sooner you get checked out the better. I agree with Jan, there are places that will take you, you just have to search for them. Ovarian cancer is rare, but TIME is very important, you want to catch it early to give you a greater chance of survival. Let us know how it goes, with love - Deandra
