Awesome...

Someone pinch me!  I can't believe the drug company will be suppling us the Votrient for free. Thank you to Rachel, the financial assistance gal at the hospital. Dr. Rathmell, who might have had some pull with the drug company, and GSK!!!! You're Awesome!!! The drug will arrive tomorrow, so Dennis will only miss one day.

Dennis had labs on Monday, which were normal, and a visit with Mary, our NP. Boy, was she mad when we told her what was going on. She mentioned something about gouging out someone's eyes at the insurance company, but I told her she had to get in line behind me! Patricia, one of the trial nurses we had when Dennis was first diagnosed, stopped by to say hello as well. She's soooo nice, and always makes time for us.

I'm still waiting to hear about what happened with my insurance. We were offered two plans - gold and silver. We were told the gold plan was the same coverage we had. It's bad enough the deductible went up, and the cost increased about $100 a month, but to find out it didn't cover a drug anymore just about put me over the edge. Kathy from HR is doing her best to find out what happened, and has CC me on the emails to the insurance company. I hope we hear something soon, and that no one else has to go through this.
