Leah, I’m so frustrated by this whole messed up system. I’m so sorry this is getting piled on an already rotten season.

This system is bonkers, isn’t it? I’m happy to write that this one issue is resolved thanks to the Dr’s office, so treatment is back on.

I agree with Sharolyn. Insurance is helpful and hindering at the same time. I’m dealing with an issue in which they are denying me an item I need to test my blood sugar because I’m supposedly using a CGM, constant glucose monitor, which they have denied me for 8+ weeks. Grrr. What do they care? I hope that you are able to work through all of it and get what you need. 🙏

Dear Leah, I’m right with you and your frustration with your insurance’s refusal to approve your next treatment. My prayers will be that your oncologist’s work with your insurance company will result in their approval of your next treatment. I’m sure I have time to visit with you by phone or in person this week, and tomorrow I’ll figure out when and get back with you! Love and hugs, Deb❤️❤️
