I don't know anyone personally, that's had it done, but it would suprise me if the gov't paid for it. If you were able to have it deemed "medically necessary", there'd probably be a chance, but I'd imagine they would have to try a bunch of other things first. But what do I know? I mean they're the same people spending $500 on toilet seats!

Good luck with your lump removal and I wish you luck with whatever else they have you do.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
