A woman in Marlborough is battling Stage 4 kidney cancer, and her insurance is not covering her cancer treatment.

MARLBOROUGH, MA-- Carol MacLellan’s mom Trudy was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer. Raising four kids on her own, she worked at the same job for 41 years. Now, MacLellan says her mother’s insurance will not cover the cost of the chemotherapy needed for her treatment, which is $11,000.
