Q: I need to find some assistance for my mother with an abnormal mammogram

my mother has recently had a mammogram and it came back with an abnormality, but her insurance has a large up front deductable and she is having a hard time paying it and can't receive any further service until it is paid.  She is keeping this hidden and i feel she will not get further treatment and she is dealing with this alone and i can't have that.  I need some help in finding a way for her to pay for these services so she can't get a diagnosis soon.  I am very concerned for my mother.  My email address is gentilejess@gmail.com

My mother lives in vermont and i am in maine and don't know what vt has to offer.

 

I appreciate your time.

Jessica, please have your mother call (603) 653-9000, the Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Lebanon, NH, which is the Comprehensive Cancer Center serving New Hampshire and Vermont. She should ask for the Comprehensive Breast Program. Someone there can tell her what her options are, as far as continuing the diagnostic process. Good luck - PJH
