The breast cancer is back. I'm really freaked out waiting for the biopsy results. It looks like DCIS.... I pray that it is because that means non invasive. I have HUGE co-pay and i know there are organizations out there that will help. I am in Southern California. Can any of you ladies help me with finding these organizations?

    One step at a time.........
    Boppy is right, your social worker at your center or hospital will direct you on how to work things out. I had an MRI, and ended up paying for most of it because I didn't meet my deductable. Like I have that type of "change" lying around, right? Nope. Those at the breast center were wonderful, understanding, and all I had to do was come up with a figure!! They asked how much I could pay, I told them $X for four months, and they agreed! And the stress was gone!

    Breathe deep and know that you will clear this hurdle as with all others. In the meantime, my prayers are being sent on your behalf!
