Thank you so much for posting about this Rene! I have a aunt who has terminal breast cancer & a cousin that was diagnosed a couple months ago. I think this is a very important topic!

Great thread Rene - thanks for the link. I used to work as a research assistant and I had to approach women (some of whom had just undergone a mastectomy hours before) to ask them to participate in a study. They were always so overwhelmed... Insurance companies should NOT be sending them home after a day.
