I guess I don't expect sympathy from others. I am stage 4, and while I would love to go to md Anderson or sloan, I can't because my ins wouldn't cover it. I also would like to to go to the Block center in Chicago or to a naturopath , but can't because we can't afford it.
I would never ask my family to go into debt in order for me to do this either.

I go to a local onc clinic that is in network for my ins because that is what we can afford to do.

While it would be wonderful if every cancer patient could go to the top cancer treatment facility in the country, that is not realistic. I am more concerned about women who have no ins. and can't get basic coverage than those who can't go where they want because of restrictions on their ins.
