I was diagnosed with breast cancer in August of last year. had a double mastectomy and port put in me in September. Went through chemo for a year afterward along with breast reconstruction.

Now I am finished. By His grace I came through without any problems.

I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination.

I agree 100% that the United States had a great medical system, and I did not want the ACA, either.

But, even before the ACA, the level of care received did depend on where you went. For example, when I was diagnosed in late 2010, eight weeks later my surgery was still being delayed. Thankfully, I switched to another surgeon who took me right away. Having the option to go somewhere else made the difference. Surgeons compete for patients - it’s a system that works.

As a side note, I’m surprised every day by the large number of us here on FR who are cancer survivors and/or fighting cancer now.
