Re: Insurance Frustrations

Tracy,

I noticed on your signature that Aetna approved H&P through February 2018! So glad to read that. It just seemed completely unreasonable that they could deny treatment that is the standard of care for this type of cancer. It is so unfair that you've had to deal with this in addition to keeping yourself as healthy as possible. Stress like this isn't what the body needs.

Take care,
Brenda
