For Any Cancer Diagnosis
- When I am no longer covered under my parents' policy, will I be able to get my own health insurance with a past history of cancer?
- My 24-year-old son was recently diagnosed with cancer and I think it would be a good idea for him to join a support group. How do I convince him?
- I am 28 years old and it seems like I'm the only one my age with cancer. Is there anyone else like me out there?
