Need Help Finding Cancer Screenings In Southeast MI Area

[WhiteLines]

I typically do not go to doctors or participate much in the overall medical industrial complex lol, so it like navigating foreign waters to me. I'm hoping someone here may be able to give me some useful advice or directions in this matter. I am working and staying in the Rochester Hills, MI are and I need to find someplace where I can get seen and checked out for throat cancer which I had not considered before but without getting in the details, let's just say that newly uncovered evidence has made it a top suspect in the case. My random grab bag of possible connected symptoms have all been worsening over time as well. I welcome any thoughts or input that anyone has to offer. Thanks y'all.

My tongue is unexplainably as white as my name is, it has mostly been so for many of years. Nosebleeds, weird turmor lump mofo in my nose I've been fighting with for several years could be connected somehow, nose bleed. Pain in jaw, ear, eyes, sometimes I unconsciously lock my jaw down with the bite force of 6 adult sharks and 9 crocodiles... which becomes extremely painful and I've actually had to grab my upper and lower jaws and pry my mouth back open with my hands before. My throat usually hurts like I drank sulfuric acid. Throat swelling closed. Inability to inhale cigarettes smoke with ease, I'm actually trying to quit smoking again now because it's become more pain than pleasure lol. I'm sure there's more stuff, I don't usually experience much comfort sharing personal medical physical type of whatever so it sort of stumped me when you asked lol. My instincts said to answer with "Ahh idk really, don't worry about it I'm fine" lmao

And that last statement would fall into the category of "famous last words". 

Definitely get all the things check...including the forbidden zone of the prostate. 

With the billions of ways the human body tries to take us out, you just never know which little thing is actually going to get you.

Fucking hell man, and I just read you have a seven year old.  I hope it's not as horrible as it sounds and can easily be treated.  Your kid needs a dad for as long as possible.

But I hear you on the "don't worry about it I'm fine" because I do the same shit too.  Partly because I don't want to deal with medical/insurance (which I lack) bullshit, and partly because I don't want to be a burden to others.  Though I know my dad would go broke trying to save my dumb ass so it might be better to get checked out, but also ADHD and I keep forgetting.  Weird tight chest feelings and abdominal pain make me think "oh no, it's the big one!" yet I still do nothing about it or to prevent it because I don't really care.  Either it goes away and it's not my problem anymore, or I die from it and it's not my problem anymore.  However I also don't have any progeny to worry about either.

Wait it gets even better, I also have a 2 year old son, myself being the frisky and youthful age of 42 years as if I had no sense at all. Plus the children's mother has just got a diagnosis of cancer herself which they think they can get all of with a surgery that's scheduled coming up in July.
