Re: Question
I start from my surgery date also. So I am two years out now but still not convinced it's gone. Will I ever feel safe?
On the AFLAC note, I bought the cancer insurance 10 years ago and when I was diagnosed in October of 2010 I was able to collect. Let me tell you that it is the best insurance out there! They paid for my initial diagnosis, $300 every time I sat in the chemo chair, surgery reimbursement, many other pay outs. It is well worth the monthly fee and hope that you can get the coverage when eligible.
