Johnlw7 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My sister Karen has stage 4 Thyroid cancer.A very rare type Tall Cell Papillary Carcinoma,I am having a difficult time understanding why she is the exact same age as my mother 53 when she died from cancer some twenty years ago.Both times it has been the incorrect diagnosis of a doctor.Both times insurance premuims were paid for years with no claims.We have fought tooth and nail with the insurance companies.I don't guess $800 a month is enough.Anyway when i was in my young and stupid days hurt and going through the pains of a serious accident and the hell of addiction to prescription drugs.She was the only person that saw good in me and never gave up.I don't understand why it is always the good people that seem to suffer the most.Please keep this wonderful woman in your prayers she is truly special to me and everyone who knows her.Thanks!
