From Charlotte, N.C.: A woman's diagnosis with uterine cancer led to further medical tests. She was also found to have breast cancer, which was stage four metastatic. This woman had previously never had a mammogram, despite being 59 years old.
She received this diagnosis without health insurance, as she was self-employed and uninsured. A program called Project Pink helped by covering the cost of a mammogram for this uninsured woman, though details of the program's scope are not provided here.
