HELLO JULIE,

 

 

I recently got a lump on my left breast.2 days after i went to the doctor in mexico due to the fact i dont have medical insurance.He said its just FIBROADENOMAS,but i wasnt too satisfied.I placed an appointment here in texas theres a texas tech university that offers great discounts for people with low income.Im sure theres clinics or tech universities where u live that offers discounts or even free consultations and medical assistance based on your income.To find out call the breast cancer society and they will give you information on your nearest discount clinic.Thats how i found out about the Texas Tech University.Good Luck.

Check w/the American Cancer Society or if you know of a Breast Care Center within one of the hospitals near you. There are grants and special need based programs just for someone just like your daughter.

All the best!
