M	60s	I just had this thing about not wanting to go out in public, because I had probably lost about close to 40 pounds and I just didn't have any energy, no desire to get up and even move and go out anywhere to leave the house.
F	20s	I wasn’t contacted for any type of follow-up examinations and was kind of just left on my own. That’s where my whole life just crumbled apart where I was; my mom had to move into the house because I was so scared to go to sleep by myself, because I was afraid I wouldn’t wake up. I started having panic attacks. Anytime I felt any type of pain or stress in my chest, it just sent me into a panic attack. I lost a lot of sleep. I actually failed out of school because it was so much on my mind.
M	Age missing	I just worry about my credit…I had an appointment in April and…they sent me a letter telling me they hadn’t been paid and that they were going to turn me over to collections. I felt a little bit nervous about going down there for another follow-up treatment.
F	50s	I think one of the tests I went to get the mammogram…it was never paid for. The thing I didn’t like about it is…you’d have to write some kind of paper to some people to get the help, financial help. If you’re sick and you have cancer, I don’t know if you would feel like writing a report.
M	50s	I call it in Indian language “money scent.” They want that money. The cut me open and bill me with $8000…I told [the navigator] I didn’t want [the doctor] around, because…they are just there to get that money. They don’t care about the patient, they wait till the patient is ready to die and then they want to be there just to get that overtime. That’s what I hate about these doctors over here.
M	50s	I just blew up because prior to getting cancer I had to get mad at the doctor over there because I wanted a PSA test. He wanted to give me a blood test, a urine test, to find out if I was smoking marijuana…I said I didn’t want that, I wanted a PSA test, a blood test to find out what my count was. He didn’t want to give me one.
