My maternal Grandmother died of breast cancer when I was a little girl. I was too young to understand what was happening to her but not too young to understand that she was suffering terribly.
My Grandparents had just divorced when she was diagnosed. Because of this, she was without medical insurance and postponed seeing her doctor because she didn't have the money. This haunts my Mother, as she truly believes that her Mom may be alive today if she would have received the medical care she needed.
Here is a link to help women who could not otherwise afford a mammogram, the most successful tool in finding the early stages of breast cancer.
