Thought I was home clear after chemo and just got hit with a curve ball. Echocardiogram showed I have a atrial septial aneurysm. Was told not to get excited and they have me set up to see a cariologist next Thursday. Which is the last day I have insurance. Keep your fingers crossed that he says it is just something we will need to watch not do something about.

    I am so sorry to hear that you have this scare. And I am keeping everything crossed
    for you that it will remain "just" a scare. And on top of if you have the insurance expiration
    breathing down your neck. Please try to remain calm and positive.

    I will be anticipating a good outcome along with you!!!

    Hugs,

    That Sucks! I am so very sorry, Sweet Vickid..
    Keeping you in positive thoughts, and prayers. Having dealt with the insurance weenie's, and lost of insurance coverage - I know all too well what a nightmare you are living.
    Please contact your Oncologist and see if his office has a Case Manager - give her/him a call and see what can be done to speed up this procedure, as well as what can be offered to you with regards to continued coverage .. thru HIPPA, and/or insurance organizations in your State.

    Please keep us posted.

    Strength, Courage and Hope.

    cancellation
    Maybe you can get in early on a cancellation. They might even give you priority with your insurance running out. Hopefully it will be a situation you can just monitor. You're on the prayer list.

    Was next Thursday yesterday
    Was next Thursday yesterday or next week? Hope it goes ok and that you gain comfort from it.

    In regards to insurance: If you do not have help paying for the medical care, you may be able to apply for "charity" from the doctor. I think you call the doctor and say you cannot pay the bill and need to be considered a charity case. Rather than send your unpaid bill to collections, billing will then pull your file for tax write off for the doctor. It allows the doctor to still get "payment for services" even though you are not paying it. It can't hurt to ask.

    thinking of you...
