Default Breast Cancer/OT

FYI: there is prolly no way you can have genetic testing without your
insurance company finding out. There is this entity called the Medical
Information Bureau, to which all the insurance companies subscribe. Any
time you sign permission slips for information to be released, they can get
your information, and I don't know of any way that WE could see what they
have on us.... Anyway, I'm sure the testing center would send info to them
if you had it done, and who can afford $3k for a test? (not me)

I have that EIC in my path report and it would always return so it's a must
to get the breast off. I will have them do the nodes, chemo port and the
breast all in one shot....no need to knock me out again. I've also heard
that about that genetic testing....so maybe the less the insurance company
knows the better. will be zonked before all this starts but I have 2 weeks
of healing before chemo after my mastectomy. I just might buy myself an
ipod and have my son download the songs on it and take that to chemo with
me.
I don't think I'll go for a wig...I'll wear some chemo caps.
