Hi, I am new to this forum and happy to have found it. I am 46, married, and live in Tulsa but Blue Cross is not affliated with CTCA in Tulsa so I am flying out to Illinois with my husband on Tuesday for a 2nd opinion. Was diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Carcinoma on 09/08/06, with tumor 18cm in right and 2cm in left and surgeon did not perform biopsy on left like he was supposed to. Planned on doing a mastectomy all along so I am relieved to hear positive things about CTCA. They have been wonderful and are paying for mine and my husbands airfare. My housing is free along with free meals. My husband pays for housing and very low fees for meals. Can't wait to get there and get a COMPLETE and ACCURATE diagnosis. I am completely confident I made the right decision on postponing my mastectomy until I meet with CTCA. Good luck to everyone in their fight. I'm scared but both myself and my husband have a very positive attitude.
