Hi Janny. So sorry that you had to join us here but welcome to this network. It's such a surreal experience when you are first diagnosed. I understand feeling numb. I got the call from my doctor October last year and didn't quite believe what she was saying especially since I never felt sick. Having BC just derails everything. It's good that they caught it early and here's hoping that you can get back to normal sometime soon. I find the financial burden of having BC isn't really talked about a lot. I too have private health insurance and went public for radiation but private for surgery and chemo. All up I am out of pocket about $11,000 for medical expenses. With lost wages it's about $48K which has been very stressful. Having a cruise to look forward to sounds great. Where will you be cruising to?
