My daughter is 37 years old and is raising two teenage boys (one of which is not a blood son) but very much part of our family. she is a single mom and lives in Reno NV. I have the gene and have had both breast and a hystromecy (spelling). Every woman on my mothers side of the family have died of cancer. My daughter and myself are the only ones left. I am on disability. My daughter does not have medical insurance. When the pain gets really bad so goes to the ER and they want to give her pain shots. She tells then what she believes is wrong and they tell her to go to a doctor. I borrowed $285.00 and sent her to a doctor wbo told her that she needed to have tests and that would cost thousands of dollars. We do not have that.....How in the world care we going to get help. For some reason she can not get medical. I need help finding a doctor that will help her and let us pay him or her off for however it takes. We can not let her die. Please help us and tell us what to do. She does not have the money to travel out of state for treatment. I could always drive to Reno and take care of her boys it she had to leave.

Here is another resource.
Women At Risk
Women At Risk (WAR) is the Breast Cancer Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, whose mission is to enhance the lives of women who are at high risk for and with breast cancer through research, education and support.
Women At Risk was founded in 1991 by a grassroots partnership of physicians and patient/volunteers who recognized that high-risk women would benefit most from interventions aimed at early diagnosis of breast cancer. Women At Risk has expanded dramatically, growing to meet the needs of women in the New York Metropolitan area not only at high risk for breast cancer but also for women undergoing treatment for the disease.
Research is the centerpiece of WAR's activity, providing seed money for research projects dedicated to breast cancer.
WAR's High-Risk Program and Registry aims to provide the best possible care, treatment, education and support for women at high risk for breast cancer.
WAR sponsors educational programs on a wide range of breast cancer-related and other women's health issues at no cost to the public.
Support is offered to breast cancer patients and survivors, their family and friends through monthly support groups, WAr's Resource Library, and a Patient Navigator.
Community programs for the underserved in upper Manhattan are a cornerstone of WAR's activities.
