I just found out that I may have a tumor in my pituitary gland. My testosterone levels are at 100ng/dL normal range going from 348-1197. Extremely low and I dont know what to do. I cant afford visits to an endocrinologist. I'm scared out of my mind.

Public hospitals that work with charities. If anything you can go into the emergency room and by law they must treat you. Oh and once you're there, stay there as the hospital will no longer be responsible to treat you if you leave. Believe me it's possible to get the proper medical care with our status. Start up a kickstarter.

Most hospitals have a discount program for people without medical insurance just look up their policies and like the person said up top they are required to treat you.

Some hospitals offer their own health insurance. You can apply for medicaid. It has nothing to do with your starus

I read somewhere that DACA recipients were not eligible for medicaid?

How would I go and find out which hospitals have said discount programs? I've been googling, but I cant seem to find anything regarding discounts.

Wait, so you concluded you have a tumor just by looking at your testosterone levels? Is this a confirmed diagnosis by a doctor?

There are many reasons for low testosterone.

Go to a church (hispanic if possible) ask around if they help people that are undocumented (if you feel comfortable) or people that do not have insurance. Here in my city, there is a medical van that comes every so often to the church and checks people for free. Not all are undocumented. The doctors volunteer and help those in need but cannot afford it. They can write you slips to go get an XRAY or anything you need.

Ask around your community (churches) and see if anyone can help you. Also, let us know where is your location maybe somebody can help you right away.

Don't give up.

This is the kind of stuff I don't mind my taxes are being used on, I support it.
