Hi Everyone:

I am a seven year survivor - Yay!! - but have been having back pain for the past couple of months. I think it's probably just muscle pain, but my oncologist ordered a bone scan just to be safe. Anyway, we have new insurance and just discovered that we have a $2000 deductible. the bone scan is about $1800 and I can't afford it. I already postponed it for one week. Any ideas on resources available to help me pay for it. Any other ideas?

thanks so much.

Janet
