I have been very lucky with my insurance. My husband works for Tyco and they are self insured, blue cross just adminsters the plan. They have not questioned anything that I have done and I have had tons of scans. They paid for Tykerb when I asked to get on it, while I was NED. After a week, I got off it because of the side effects but they were willing to keep paying for it. I am waiting for them to say something but they never have. I am going to move my scans to every 4 months now...sherry
