The Further Adventures of Spacemom

PSA: Breast Cancer August 1, 2007

Posted by spacemom in : Weblogs , trackback

It’s been a crazy summer. I know 3 people personally who have cancer and are fighting this summer. I know Whymommy on the web. I hate this.

So I am taking a quick break today to have you go read this petition

The idea is to allow doctors and patients determine how long the hospital stay after a mastectomy the woman should stay. Right now, the insurance companies decide. Some women are not even allowed an overnight stay. Imagine, losing a body part and having to just go home to deal?

Cancer is already attacking these women. Why should insurance companies do it too?

Thanks
