My family is struggling due to a recent breast cancer diagnosis and the monster of health profiteering reared its ugly head on day one.
Boostable Request: Do you anyone who might know if any solid cancer center in the US will accept a breast cancer patient without insurance?
Is it best to push through to get COBRA activated? Any way to start with cash payments first? Any other tips?
Context: both spouses are jobless & COBRA coverage activation is dragging.
More context: imaging & biopsies (incl. tactical) done; came back positive w/ regional spread to axiliary lymph nodes.
Looks (to me) like early-ish stage ductal carcinoma w/ so far no evidence of spread beyond one breast & nearest lymph nodes.
Meetings scheduled next week w/ good local surgeons but unclear yet if it’ll be possible to schedule anything without active COBRA coverage.
Patient is ready for surgery but not clear to them yet if and when chemo & radio will be needed, etc.
@benoit Fort heureusement ça n’a pas l’air d’être héréditaire mais ma femme va quand même vérifier régulièrement avec une mammographie.
Merci 🙂
