Appeal denied. Joe, I dont qualify for the trial in Chicago at Univ of Chicago...more than 2 prior chemos. My onc. was working on the appeal until late Friday, then today, denied again. I contacted Cancer Legal Resource Center, they are looking into it. Called Tykerb cares and still no response, so back to square one, and now 1 month since any Rx except Herceptin. It wouldn't bother me so much but the lump in the side of my neck truly is growing by the day, and it pulls and hurts to turn my head.
On the bright side, my little Grandaughter Jasmine, who many of you may remember, is going to Disney World in 6 days as her wish from Make a Wish Foundation.... she will be 13 in 2 weeks...so funny that she is very tiny and wears a size 4-5 in childrens, but her head is very small and we had to get a newborn winter hat to fit her tiny head (cranial synastosis)...and it had to be one that looked like something a teenager would wear! When she was nominated for Make A Wish by her Dr., they asked her if she could go on a vacation anywhere in the world, where would she want to go...her answer was to Grandma Cocoa's house..( that is what she calls me)..needless to say, that made my day, my year, my life! She is truly proof that miracles do happen!
