The new guidelines sparked the plugs

Sorry - it's the new guidelines that sparked all plugs,
getting political is the last thing I want, I want to let
people know that it's going to be insurance companies
listening to these new guidelines, cancel procedure's etc., it's our health, that we fought so hard to live for and now, its all over the news.

It's frightening and scary.

Hope they never, ever, cancel Herceptin, that made us all survive - I am very heartbroken.

I'm scared now for my daughter, who is 18 and at high risk, my niece, my sister, my future grandchildren, that I may never get to meet.

Sorry, I'm in tears, this is not my fault, just letting this panel know - who came out with the guidelines, that will have a huge impact on everyone of us, who face a disease and get told insurance will not cover.

Not, to mention, our physicians may have to go through a team of others recommending our care, before they
can decide on what they can treat us with - please, don't take offense to me - I'm only scared, shattered and devasted.

That's all.

Wish everyone best of luck, fight hard, keep strong,
keep the faith.
