Today my mom told me she got a call from my doctor while I was out.
She said that my doctor was really disappointed that I missed my last appointment because she had big news and wanted to tell me herself.
She told my mom that I can get top surgery (ftm double mastectomy w/n****e grafts. Chest reconstruction, in laymans terms) covered under MCP.
I don't know how long the wait will be, or how to get started but I'm making an appointment monday morning to see my doctor and talk about details.
I don't even know how to express how I feel right now other than there's been a huge weight lifted off my chest (haha, not for real YET) and all the financial stress has dissipated.
It would have taken me at least 5 years to save for top surgery on my own. I have psychological disabilities keeping me from working right now, I'm on income support for necessities, and I'm just going back to school now to get my G.E.D so it would have been impossible.
I just... I'm in shock. I don't feel like I deserve it, but holy ******** am I grateful for this huge blessing.
Even if I'm on a 3 year waiting list, I will finally be on the track to getting it and I couldn't be any happier.
I just needed to let someone know haha, and this seemed like a perfect place to go.
