Thanks to all for your well wishes. We have been dealing with this since she was 38 and we never look at it as a liability or really even think about it all that much. We faced the possibilities of what could happen years ago and put it in God's hands. We always remain positive since we do believe that positive thinking will always help in your cure. We celebrate as each year passes. She is still a survivor after 13 years. That is all good.
I still haven't found out when, if ever, the insurance companies will remove you from "pre-existing condition" status. It affects health insurance and as mentioned above, procuring life insurance. I tried raising her life insurance once after she had cancer and that was also a no go. Do they ever drop that classification and actually consider you cured ?
It just doesn't seem right that the medical community considers you cured after a 5 year remission but the insurance companies really never consider you cured. Thanks to all for their advice.
