    Insurance company ugh

    Hi, sorry to see you dragged backwards my friend, keep on fighting ok... I was diagnosed with kidney cancer, live n work in Hong Kong, from Sydne. It has spread to one of my ribs and all lower abdomen lymph node, around Nov 7th, its a bit blurry ha. I have been on Axitinib for a few weeks now, seems to be holding it at bay, the only major side effect was I lost my voiCw almost completely, what was left sound like a truck of gravel parked in there... at least you have your insurance, my company Blue Cross rejected all my claims and said it was a preconditon case. Since the hospital doctor mentioned according to a yearly prostate examination in May 2017 stated all clear and PSA normal, but at the bottom of the report it mentioned swollen lymph nodes in lower abdomen! Without any comment as to you know get a biopsy done or a PET? So I could have found mine more than six months ago!

    i don't have much cash left, the whole process has cost me 250k HKD so far and I'm not sure how I can soldier through my work talking like this!

    take care
