Please help.
I'm female, and found a lump in my breast.
I'm turning 40 in a few months.
I have a job, but I'm living from check to check..and no insurance.
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I just spent two hours searching the web for a free check-up and free 
services, but went around in circles.
Earlier I spent two hours on the phone, beginning with the American Cancer 
Society site..same result.
I have a car.can go anywhere in the area.
I'm terrified...don't want to spend the next several days 
searching..desperate for an appointment now.
Has anyone been through this?
Anyone know where I can start?

Thank you

    I just did a search on "Las Vegas breast cancer" and came up with the 
Susan G. Komen Foundation which has an affiliate in Las Vegas.  Why not give 
them a call or check their web site?  I'll bet they could help.  Here's what 
I copied off their web site:

Hi there!

You probably have to know the National Cancer Institute website. Take a 
look there, it could be helpful:
