Lani, that is so encouraging! I have had my share of problems with my insurance co in regards to unfair reimbursements.
One such example, there are many at out site that have had their DIEP reconstuction paid very well by their insurance company. Mine paid minimally leaving me with a very large out of pocket cost.
Same situation with my Oncotype DX and now with my annual DEXA.
