Celebration (Finished treatment): Jesi, my daughter, came back from her sentinal node biopsy and additional tissue removal surger with good news. Her biopsy was negative. We thank God that it has not spread. And the additional tissue was negative for cancer, meaning it was all removed. Another prayer answered. She is supposed to get skin checks every 3-4 months for the next 1-2 years to check for any new spots.

My daughter has chosen to bring her boyfriend to her treatments and told my husband and I th at she feels that she needs to start being an adult (she is 19) and deal with this on her own.
She hasn't had the lymph node biopsy yet to see if it has spread..and I am hurt, naturally, but scared that if the cancer has spread she will be afraid to ask for our support.
We have always been super close and feeling shut out and on the "phone list" of people to keep updated has shaken me. -

over 8 years agoDealing with cancer and not having insurance can be very scary. There are ways to help deal with the costs of cancer. We recently ran a blog post with some tips:
http://blog.whatnext.com/blog/peer-perspectives/9-tips-for-dealing-with-the-financials-of-cancer
There's also a fabulous site, http://www.GiveForward.com that provides online fundraising support to help defray medical costs. They do great work and a lot of folks here have used them.
Please keep us posted and let us know what help you need.
