Dear Charlotte
This could very well be a new primary in the other breast and not a recurrence of the first lump. The only way to know for sure is to have the pathologies compared.
Do you have Medicare yet? If not, can you apply for Medicaid? You should find out. Obviously you will need surgery and you might be able to "cut a deal" with the surgeon and hospital. See if there are special needs groups, and your local Komen society to help defray the costs. Others on this board may also have some suggestions to you in regard to cost. Can the hospital help you out if you volunteer time etc (after your recovery). Also, contact your local American Cancer Society office about scholarships to apply for or donations from them.
Just some thoughts.
Kindest regards
Becky
