Life insurance is a sore subject for me. My husband has a general managers position for a huge company... Tyco. Even though I don't work he has always carried 30,000 worth of life insurance on me...not a bundle but at least it's something. He has been doing this for years. This past year when it was time to renew my insurance, he put it on his desk and forgot about it, let it lapse. During that lapse time, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer. I just assumed that I at least had life insurance to make things a little easier financially if I passed. It took him a couple of months into my treatment to confess that he did not renew my insurance when he should have and they turned him down flat when he tried to renew it after my diagnosis. They told him flat out..no way. I dont' know if I will ever be able to qualify for their life insurance again, he didn't question them too much about it. Talk about bad luck and bad timing. It's like that dang TV that's going to go out on you a month after the warranty is up. It also hurt my feelings that he didn't consider my life worth insuring, I know that sounds melodramatic but it's how I felt. I don't think too many companies are going to jump at the chance of insuring us stage IV cancer gals...sherryg683
