Hello My name is Wanda White and I found out that I had cancer in my left breast in Nov,4 2004 it was the worst day of my life .When I did not show up for work that night at a church camp I work at they know what my out come was.I called my Doctor to find out that it was cancer I got in my car and drove I did know where to go .It was thoughts of should I go on to work .I could not so I turn around and went back home.Lost a lot of thinking to do.May Insurance had just started Nov.1 ,04 But they refused to pay for my care telling me it was pre-exs.So a program called every womans life help me with the care .Thank You Every womans Life.But I could only get help from Dec.01,2004 I was left with a hospital bill around 10,0000 and a surgen bill of over 700.00 I wrote my congress man who told me to contact my soc,worker and ask then to go back to Nov.15,04 the day of my surgery.I called and left msg a number of times with no return calls.I gave up.The system had felled me.A worker with every womans life to me I should have never seen a bill for my care .But I did.We had to take a sec.morage on our home and a personal loan to to pay all the bills.And then in June 2006 after having a lump remove from my right breast and was told before the removal it was not cancer,I go for a check up and the Doctor told me it was cancer and that he had got it all once again.I have had 66 treatment ,almost 5 yr.of tamoxifen.still counting
