lany25@webtv.netDear Ladies,
I was reading US New and World Report, and saw an ad saying that cancer patients can fly free on corporate planes for recognized cancer treatments. I was thinking that maybe they might fly some of our ladies for explantation and perhaps even treatment. Once they reached their destination, there are hotels which will give discount rates for patients out of town who need shelter and are in town for health reasons like surgery. The name of the program is CAN and stands for Corporate Angel Network. Their number is 914-328-1313. and their web site is:
www.corpangelnetwork.orgI am not sure what the first step would be to get them to help. I thought maybe one of you may have more experience with this type of thing than I do. But, I do know this, it would be a wonderful thing for those ladies who need explantation and need to travel but cannot afford it. Or, even for treatment. I don't know how far they would go for us but, it would be wonderful if they would help us too. I personally, do not need to travel. At least not yet. But, I do know that many of you have to go long distances to receive care. This is a possible solution for these ladies. Just wanted to let you know.
Lany~~~ Thanks so much for bringing this up, Lany. ~~~
