It could be worse, you could live in Canada. It would be free, if you live
long enough to get to see the doctor.

So what your saying is, "pain" is a GOOD thing, right?  If so, that's a good
thing, since this is sore as all get out.  I have an "evaluation" by my
family doctor this Thursday.  The insurance company would not let me
schedule directly with the radiologist or oncologist.  What a bunch o'
hooey!

Pain, or the lack of thereof, is not an true indicator.  True, malignant
breast tumours often are not associated with pain, but then the presence of
pain doesn't indicate malignancy or healthy cells.

You're going through what millions of women go through every year, I'm sorry
to say. :-(
