This is from Coby's link :

It all began in the summer of 2004, when she "felt something in my right breast that didn't feel normal," Lyon told PEOPLE in October 2005. "I thought it was probably scar tissue related to my breast implants. It was right along the ridge of the implant, so I let it go, and I let it go for a long time."

Asked why she delayed seeing a doctor, Lyon said, "I didn't have insurance, which is a big part of it. And it really wasn't changing much. But a year later, I felt another lump, and then I felt something under my armpit."

This is very shocking. I know she is not the only one in this situation and who knows if it'll change anything but fuck she lost a year because she didn't have an insurance. This is so unfair

I feel so angry about it.

The problem when you don't have insurance is that you tend to try to ride out small things, especially if you don't have the money, but also sometimes you consider the pre-existing condition clause. My husband and I have not had insurance since he was laid off in May last year because we couldn't afford the COBRA payments. Even though I have been cancer free for 7 years, I get scared to death that it will recur. I don't even want to know if it does until we have insurance again so that they can't invoke the pre-existing condition clause. Thank goodness I had a clean CT Scan a year ago, so I have proof. It is so expensive to try and stay alive.

By the way, I think a great tribute to Jenn would be if the Survivor auction proceeds from Heroes versus Villains props would go to the charity she supported.
