Lobular Breast Cancer: Let's share and support each other

It is pretty discouraging that insurance dictates our surveillance. I pay $1000 a month for insurance via the MA Health Care Connector (self employed) and my deductible is so high that after surgery and radiation I pay $300 monthly toward my large outstanding balance. You can pay monthly and stretch out and it will not impact your credit if your insurance will not cover. I don't understand as I still think early detection is all we have and isn't it ultimately cheaper for insurance companies if we catch it early? xo

I believe insurance companies are a big business and they are not into conserving our lives. They do not cover certain things because they do not want to keep us alive indefinitely because it cost them. Mri is more expensive for them to pay so they only let me have it once a year. Even though mri detected my cancer and mammo did not. Sad but it is the way insurance companies run. It is about money not patient well being.
