Advice needed

I've been having increasing pain in my right hip, so my oncologist ordered an MRI. Heard back from them with great news and not so great news. No signs of metastasis, thank god. But not an all clear either, unfortunately. Apparently I have acetabular labral tears and will need to see an orthopedic specialist once I get the actual written report

Hope everything turns out okay; I'm 54 and I've been having increasing hip pain in my left hip that keeps me up all night; it hurts much worse at night in bed than when I'm up and around. I'm losing my Obamacare because I lost my job and the job I have now doesn't pay enough to keep me on the insurance; I had heart tests earlier this year and now I'm afraid they're going to make me pay for all of that, sigh...anyway, I can't afford any more dr appts much less surgery/rehab so I keep praying my hip isn't anything really terrible. I have to take care of my adult autistic daughter, my son died last year and he always watched her while I worked so I had to leave my former job. Anyway, I just can't be out of play for that long, there's no one else to look after my daughter so I just keep praying my hip is just simple arthritis and won't get worse. But if the pain gets much worse I guess I will be forced to go have it checked out. I hate getting old, sigh. I pray this dr will do well for you and everything will turn out great.
