Donna,

Welcome to the Colon Club!

Please know that you are in my prayers! Please give your son a big hug for me. Through this forum, I hope that you and your son will find strength, hope and inspiration. I am so sorry that your son does not currently have insurance but know that there are many resources available to help off set the costs that your son may incur. Such resources are for medical and prescription costs. For specific questions, please do email me and I will help guide you. To your son, keep kicking a little cancer a#$! You must be proactive in the management of your health! This disease is treatable, preventable and beatable!
