Brenda, why does this not suprise me at all. I still can't fathom what makes these stupid, pencil pushing doctors come to these decisions. Don't you also find that healthcare seems to be sexist also? Seems funny what they will cover for men and what they won't for women. Maybe we need to infiltrate this system somehow with some breast cancer survivors who know what we are going through. I wish I were an MD. I would be willing to play I SPY!
