I just came back from my 6 week follow up appointment with my radiation doctor. I am stage 3 c with one out of 9 lymph node infected after chemo and radiation. First question the doctor asked is if i was recieving more chemo and now for a longer period of time because of the lymph node. Next question was and your on Avastin right? Well my chemo doc said that i didnt quilify for the study and my ins. would not cover it, so no i am not on Avastin. His reply to this was well you didnt hear this from me but i would ask your onc. if this would help you and if so you should fight the ins. company he than said that i have a one and three chance of this cancer metasteses somewhere else! One in three! I thought my chances were so much better than that. I am just so mad that I may not have a better chance of fighting this because of ins! Any replys would be great.
God Bless and always BELIEVE!
