Good Advice from the Bored!
A month or so ago, I asked the bored their opinion about my friend's insurance situation. (Should she pay for Cobra, even though nothing happened to her family during the time the she didn't have insurance. She had breast cancer a few years ago.)
I gave her the link to the thread and let her read the opinions. (She thinks that you guys are scarily brilliant, by the way.)
Anyway, she paid for the Cobra insurance, thanks in strong part due to the advice she found here.
This morning she called me up while we were on our vacation at Catalina Island. Even though she had had a mastectomy and a preventative mastectomy on the other breast and has been ruled clean for over five years, she found a lump under her arm. It was biopsied and her cancer has returned. She will be having surgery and chemotheraphy to treat the cancer.
I want to thank everyone on the bored on her behalf. With everything that is going on with my friend, she feels very lucky that she doesn't have to worry about insurance paying for her treatment and they will pay for her treatment because she has had no gaps in coverage.
My friend is the happiest person that I know. I know that she will be able to beat this.

I, for one, am glad to hear some type of good news, even though it is mixed with a bit of bad news. It sounds like it is treatable and curable. I'm glad she has the coverage (I think I recommended keeping it) and I send her all the get well wishes I can.
