My wife was diagnosed seven years ago this month. She received
her treatment from the military establishment at Fort Jackson.
They treated her as the princess that she is. I'm proud to say
she's still alive and kicking--and despite being on Medicare,
chooses to see the oncodoc contracted by the military.
You should know that the military medical establishment in San
Antonio is world class. And that the military will spare no
expense or effort in seeing that she has a successful outcome.
For a complete look at the options available to her, check the

Thank you so much for giving me some peace of mind. It is just that she
tried to go to that Big Houston Cancer Clinic, and they would not except
Tricare. and if she wanted to come there, it would cost $250,000, and
just for one day evaluation, $125,000

I think she can get fine care right there in San Antonio.

BMAC is where her oncologist is and where she had masectomy, but she
goes to an army hospital, because it much closer for her to receive the
chemo.
