Tanya's Cancer Blog

April 24, 2007

Just wondering…I know a lot of you out there have also been affected by health “insurance” companies and the issues that arise during cancer treatment. I’m interested in hearing anyone else’s horror stories, especially about insurance policies being canceled, etc.

I’m not letting this one go! I’ll admit I’ve been playing ostrich for a little while, but I need to stay strong and not let those bastards get the best of me.

I want to get the word out to ALL people, especially people with cancer, that we need to know what’s going on with our health insurance. I don’t want anyone else to end up in my situation.




I can’t believe what health insurance companies are allowed to do in the country. I sure hope it changes and will help fight the fight in any way I can.

I actually had a really good experience with my health insurance… however, I will be sure to send anyone I hear of who is having trouble your way. Kick them in the ass Tanya. This country needs more people like you!

Tanya – Just checking that you are receiving this comment.

Thanks! Tanya. I have not had any trouble with Insurance. But some do.

You go girl!

Hi Tanya & Irvin!
Hope things are going well for you. Doug and I are getting ready to move up to Vancouver, Washington (outside of Portland) in a few weeks. I’m wondering how you did traveling with your cats across country on your recent trip? Any tips? I’ve got two cats who have little experience traveling in cars. It’s 1400 miles from Phoenix to Vancouver….and could be a long trip. I did get some sedatives for them in case they get too upset. Any other ideas?

Other than that – how are you guys doing? Anything new of late? Hope you are both happy and healthy. You two are a great couple and deserve the best ~

Hope to hear from you soon ~ Blessings, Caryl

Hi there good to see ya.

thinking about hope all is well with you.
