He was 23 year old when he was diagnosed. Today he cannot get insurance because of a prexsisting condition. If he does it is outrageously unaffordable. We have a letter to verify he had insurance but they told him he had a 30 day lapse. I am worried that this year he will not be able to get his test because we will have to pay for them out of our pocket. We cannot afford it. Is there help? We have run into dead ends. He does have a job. My son is a hodgkins surivor since 2005. He was 23 year old when he was diagnosed. Today he cannot get insurance because of a prexsisting condition.

I have a sister-in-law who is free of breast cancer and a dceased friend who had bone cancer. That is when I started wearing it. I was diagnosed with Lupus(SLE) at age 35. I am 59 and healthy. At age 50, in addition to medications, I started taking nutrients, started yoga , and resumed a closer link to God. Your LIVESTRONG wrist band is an inspiration to me as well.

After two cancer scares this year, I am blessed to be cancer free and that is something I will never take for granted. I will also help a co-worker decorate his bright yellow 1957 Ford truck for the event at Oregon Health and Sciences University.

Gray for all the children battling or who have lost their battle with a brain tumor. More children die from brain cancer than any other. Today I am encouraging all my contacts to Brown Bag their lunch and donate their lunch money to brain tumor research. We must find a cure. Today I am wearing yellow and gray.
