Real Life Story

See how cancer insurance helped Bonnie…

"For the few bucks I spent on getting this policy I can't tell you enough...I honestly don't know what I would've done without this extra help."

At age 64, Bonnie was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Luckily, she had a cancer plan that paid her, which in turn helped with unexpected costs. Even with a comprehensive medicare plan, paying surgery and cancer treatments, she was still faced with things that no insurance company would cover…”You don’t think of things like…boy, it would be nice to have a sit down walker instead of one that only allows you to stand, until you’re faced with either paying for it yourself or taking what they give you.” Things like this add up…it’s called, “Out of Pocket Expenses” and they can bleed any one’s bank account dry.”

“For the few bucks I spent on getting this policy I can’t tell you enough…I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without this extra help.”

Bonnie and Daisy (her dog) have been through thick and thin together, living in a two bedroom apartment, with no yard made things even worse…”She relies on me but I couldn’t take her out. Not for a few weeks at least! So I used my money from this plan to hire someone to help me with household chores.”

Cancer insurance paid Bonnie an approximate $21,000…this came in handy as she told us more, “They sent a nurse to my home during recovery but it was awful! She would show up late afternoon or sometimes not at all! I was confined to my bed, a prisoner in my own home. I hired a private nurse that came in, every morning, to help me shower and feel human again…this to me was priceless!”

And finally after many weeks of recovery, Bonnie treated herself and Daisy (this photo is of them on their vacation) to a well deserved weekend in the mountains. These items might seem like a luxury but when your body is healing your mental state must heal as well, “For the few bucks I spent on getting this policy I can’t tell you enough…I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without this extra help.” Bonnie lives a cancer free life today and still gets paid by her plan to get checked regularly, “Fighting this disease was no picnic and I don’t know what the future holds for us but I do have peace of mind knowing I’ve got help now.”
