We could use some medical purrs

This is for my mom again.

After dealing with a breast cancer operation, chemo, another breast cancer
operation, an attack by a vicious dog, hospitalization for an infected
chemo implant, finding that the cancer had migrated to her spine, and
still more chemo, she has started to have really bad back aches again.

Her doctor is trying to get her in for an MRI in the next day or so. We
could definitely use some purrs that the cancer on her spine isn't getting
worse. There's a chance she'll need to go in for surgery, so purrs for
that to go well would also be much appreciated.

Oh, Dan, I'm so sorry. Purrs for your mom for all to be well, or as
well as it can be.

Purrs for your mom. It must be so frustrating for her (and all of you
who love her).

As of yesterday, the government will pay $200 towards my ultrasound,
$125 towards my surgeon's consult fee and $875 towards my biopsy. I
was just going to have to let my tumor grow because my husband and I
just couldn't afford the fees. Now it's almost conceivable with a
loan from my family and the help from the fund I got started.

Oh, god. I hope you are able to get this tumor treated.

And congratulations on your efforts. How many people can say they've
made that much of a difference?

We are sending lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for your mom, Dan,
and hugs for the rest of the family,

I can relate, Dan. I'm going through cancer issues myself. I know this
won't help your mom, but I just want to inform people that as of yesterday,
because of my pestering, a new fund has been started to help people in my
age bracket (I'm 38), who are married, no job - being supported by their
spouse, no insurance, no dependents with a household annual income of
between $7,000 - $21,000, with a suspicious diagnosis.

Prior to my pestering to get this federally funded, a person had to get a
diagnosis specifically of *cancer* before anything was covered, which meant
the person had to find a clinic, get a mammogram or ultrasound, pay for the
biopsy and then get the tumor cut out BEFORE any federal funding could take
place. We're talking thousands of dollars. As of yesterday, there's
funding available to help pay for the initial stages, because I knocked on
enough doors.

Again, this doesn't help your mom, but maybe it will help someone else on
this group. It's funded through the American Breast Cancer Society or
Organization or whatever they call themselves.

As of yesterday, the government will pay $200 towards my ultrasound, $125

Dan, I wish the best for your mom. Let her know that we're still making
strides.

My whole household is sending purrs your way.

Monique, it just takes LOTS of hours on the phone to make a difference. If
I don't even make it through this, at least I know I made a difference and
that's pretty cool. I'm fine with that.

Thanks for your well-wishes. :~)

kili ----- still trying to catch up. Purrs to all!

Purrs for a positive diagnosis and a good outcome for any surgery needed.

Don't talk down your achievements! Lots of people wouldn't take that
time, or would have been too overwhelmed and given up.

If I don't even make it through this, at least I know I made a
difference and that's pretty cool. I'm fine with that.

Now you're talking ... but of course you're going to make it through
this. That's what the purrs are for.
