Re: Ugh, Aflac Insurance woman brings tears.

Lynn,
Of course you feel like crying - we have all been there, done that and did not win the T shirt. It's perfectly normal.
This is still all new for you. There are many levels to this journey of breast cancer. Besides coping emotionally there is the real hard facts of medical bills.

Have got to love that Jackie, she is a real spit fire with facts, numbers, etc. Love her story about the roof.
It is so true, "never give up" push back harder and get
someone who gave offer advise for the results you need.

If the depression continues ask the dr. for medication to help you to get past this rough time.

Please know that many of us are here for you and we have all been there ourselves. I promise it does get better - but that means time. Time to adjust, time to learn the best way that works for you to cope. As you move forward and treatment is behind you will begin to feel stronger.

Sending you a huge hug.
Jean
