(12,753 posts)I found a nurse who serves as a go between (it has another name) between insurance companies and providers. She works almost totally with cancer patients. She has been fabulous! She met with my friend Paula and put her mind at ease as much as possible. Will they still have the yearly cap of $5000, yes, will it reset each year, yes, but I think they can manage that.
It will be tough, they will not be able to help their two kids in college as much as they have been, but they had a meeting with the kids and they totally understand.
I found a doctor in the city that will give her a second opinion on her options, she sees her on Monday of next week.
BTW the breast cancer website you suggested is wonderful!
Thanks to all! Both of us are sleeping a little better this week! Our healthcare system is still a mess, but for now she is feeling much better!
