Hi Laurel, how did you pay for the cancer surgery? If you have insurance the Breast Cancer Act of 1998 states that insurance companies have to pay for reconstruction and therapy if you have lymphedema as a result of cancer. Source(s): ask the expert panelist for lymphedema, cancer survivor, Lymphland.com website owner, support group owner, ELymphNotes forums coordinator, writer for Butterfly Gazette.
Local charities are a good idea
you can contact american cancer society they might help...contact your welfare office they might help to...for me i have been through to much even though its hard with one breast,,,i think reconstruction would be even worse....im still in treatment ...how old are you and where are you at in your treatment,,
