Good news....

I just wanted to share some very good news with everyone. As everyone knows I have been waiting on results of OncotypeDX test to come in to know if I will need chemo. Well, I was sitting here this evening (sorta feeling down) and the phone rings. When I looked at the caller ID I thought "Oh no, don't answer that, it's a telemarketer!". But then I thought, "what the heck, I could use someone to talk to even if it is".
It turned out to be Genomic Labs that are doing my test(GET THIS...I WAS ON THEIR WEBSITE WHEN THEY CALLED.....YOU HAVE NOW ENTERED THE TWILIGHT ZONE!).
Turns out my Health Insurance (go figure...) says it is NOT a covered expense, but if they do the test, they can submit it and depending on the results, they will decide if they will cover it or not!! I never heard of such a thing! So I guess if its low and I don't need chemo, they deny it and chalk it up to a wasted test? or if it's high and I need chemo, how can they deny it now?
So I told Shawn (that was the nice guy's name on the phone I wanted to marry before the call was over!) that I do not have the funds to pay for this test if they turn it down so just forget it (now I am about in tears).
Then he says, "don't worry about it. we have talked it over". Turns out that they will attempt 3 times to get my insurance to cover it and if they turn it down still, then their lab will pick up the cost because they want me to have it done. He said they have a certain amount of grant money set aside for people who's insurance turns it down and I would qualify. Their Lab wants me to get the best treatment that is right for me and would like me permission to procede with the test.
What do you think I said? YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Then I told him how much he made my day and jumped on here to tell all of you. So, just thought I would share some good news. Bad part is they haven't done the test yet, but I can wait!! Yippeeee.....doing happy dance!!! Pammy
