I am absolutely thrilled that you have good insurance and that you will make it.

This is beautifully written.

I am also very, very impressed by this sentence: "I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy but I cannot help but think that if either one of these women had to fight cancer personally, they might had made different decisions." What a compassionate, admirable, and elegant way to respond to people who would casually condemn hundreds (if not more) of low-income women to death from breast cancer to further their personal agenda. I think that sentence speaks absolute truth in a very gentle way.
