ovarian cyst covers my entire right side

I have an ovarian cyst the size of a watermelon pretty much covering my entire right side.  I live n a small north ga town close to gainsville ga. Im a single mother I currently have no insurance but I did apply for family Medicaid yesterday and I can get it but it will b 30 r 40 days before it starts. I spent 2000 of my tax returns trying to get help with this problem last year. I went to the emergency room last night the on call doctor called the obgyn doctors 6 of them for the hospital in the next town over none of would take me on as a patient my normal obgyn the one that delivered all 3 my kids want see me till next week and they emphasized how much money to bring for my appointment in the office. Im in terrible pain I early can move much less care for my kids. Im in so much pain breathing even seems difficult so I went to my local family doctor she called everywhere for me n found someone 45 min away to see me tomorrow. Im really scared what happens if this thing burst am I going to die? I feel like a ticking time bomb

Try not to worry there is not much you can do until tomorrow. Let us see what the doctor says tomorrow. In most places if it is not lief threatening a ER will do nothing. I had Cancer and my ER just stopped the vomiting and sent me home. Lets just hope the doctor tomorrow can help you.
