Check with your state or welfare office. I am a single mother of one when I was diagnosed for the second time with breast cancer. I had a mastectomy over a year ago. I am currently in a program called breast and cervical for women over 40. I try the American Cancer society but they didn't help me. Here there phone number 1-800-ACS-2345 (or 1-866-228-4327.
