    If my sister doesn't have insurance, does anyone know where she can go to get help? Her Mammogram came back with mulitple lumps in both.

      I dont' know anything about them, but I ran across this link today and the company line is they help women with breast cancer. www.Bustedfoundation.org it doesn't hurt to contact them. With any organization, you aren't going to call and get a check sent to you next week. You usually have to fill out lots of paperwork, then be approved, then you get some help with somethings. You may have to contact several places to get help for a few different things. But be patient and go through the hoops and you might get lots of help.

      She lives in South Dakota. The ACS told me about this website and to see if I could find help on here. Thank you all for your information. I will let her know.

    Other Care (need to find a doctor that will treat without insurance.): My sister needs to have a MRI done but the doctor will not do it because she has had problems with prescription drugs. What can I do to help her get the care she needs? She has multiple lumps on both breasts. I have had breast cancer that ended up with a bi-lateral mastectomy. Any help would be great.

      This is a common topic on the site, help with expenses. There are several of our members that keep lists of resources. If you will post this as a question you will get lots of feedback on it.
