It has nothing to do with the non-profit organization and it's decision to discriminate against certain cancers. I work very closely with them and many of the other Foundations that help provide copay assistance for cancer patients. All of them have different diagnosis they support based entirely on what people are donating for. The donations they receive are for specific diagnosis, usually due to a family member or personal significance. These Foundations do all they can, but when people aren't donating for Ovarian Cancer, it's out of their hands. <br /><br />Saying that, I'm very sorry you can't find help for your cancer. I have a patient I'm trying to get assistance with for Cervical Cancer and I'm running in to the same problems. People are not donating for those cancers the same way they donate for, say Breast Cancer or Lung Cancer. It is disheartening for me because I have an aunt who had Ovarian Cancer, and though she had ample insurance coverage, what would have happened if she hadn't had that? I try to show my support for Ovarian Cancer and Cervical Cancer research and awareness as often as possible because there is a severe lack of funding for them both in the non-profit sector.<br /><br />I guess your post was written quite a while ago, so I hope that you found some help in the past months!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334917150876334741.post-33691117631017189422009-08-27T01:42:11.303-06:002009-08-27T01:42:11.303-06:00Anything for you Denise!
