Sorted Out (sort of...)

I'm scheduled for chemo tomorrow! Yippee.

The Berkeley office got approval from the insurance for the Carboplatin and the Taxotere (my two chemo meds) but not for the Herceptin (the targeted therapy). WTF?!?!? Who knows. I'll put a call in tomorrow morning and try to figure out what the heck is going on. The only trick is I had to agree to pay for the Herceptin if for some stupid reason the insurance company doesn't approve it.

  1. What a horribly frustrating situation! Completely absurd. Two offices? One approved for coverage? One not? And, you're trying to sort this out with a cold dragging you down. Hope your mom's company can help you keep calm while continuing the fight. Hope the chemo drip goes well today. Totally pissed off on your behalf, Sheila

  2. CRAZY!! -- How you keep your cool is beyond me!!
    Hats off to you. As Jane said this is truly Kafkaesque! With all you have on your mind - these shenanigans are TOO MUCH!!
    Hope the drip goes well and you can get the Hep... as well.
    Then I'd say you deserve some TREAT!!
    on the run, Ellen
