WOW! My parents have been married for 46 years. In just a few hours, Sue and I will take them out to dinner to celebrate this special day. It is something that we will celebrate even more after everything that we have been through in the past 8 months. It's been a trying year, but Mom and Dad have made it through it together!
Mom continues on her road to recovery. Her hair is beginning to come back. Did you take bets which color it would come back as? She is walking a bit every day to help build up her energy. She is in training for the 5K Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. I know that with all of the support of the team members, she will do it. And speaking of team members for Pauline's Posse, the team is growing! Thank you! Also, thanks to everyone who has donated so far!!
Mom is still battling the insurance companies about the generic brand for Arimidex and now she received word that her insurance company wasn't going to cover the Onctotype DX test that was performed on her tumor after her mastectomy! The insurance company "lost" the paperwork that was sent by her surgeon and her oncologist! So, now Mom will be going through appeal one for this test. The test without the insurance is $4,500!!! With her insurance covering it, the cost to mom is $75.00. It is just incredible that nearly 7 months after the surgery and completing the treatment, the test was not covered? I wonder if this happens to every patient like my mom? Now it is waiting to hear back from the insurance company. Next is the battle for a lower cost on the Arimidex generic. It is never ending......
