Nidia,

The only thing you would have to worry about if you're nursing is if you are taking medications or alcohol as cancer isn't contagious.

Even without insurance, you have options available to you. As Don pointed out, there is Medicaid depending on your financial situation. You may also qualify for your "county" medicaid assistance program. If your county commissioners determine that you have sufficient financial need, the county will cover the upfront costs of your medical expenses. You will be responsible to pay back these costs but payment arrangements are usually very accomodating and usually have the options of large "lump sum" settlements or even forgiveness.

Definitely get the screening and determine if you actually have cancer...deal with the other stuff as it comes up.

Best Wishes,

Eric
