Re: Insurance Company Does Not Want to approve TYKERB

Shelia, I wish I had the answer for you but unfortunetly I don't. Just reading what your dealing with has blood shooting out of both eyes! This is unbelievable. I loved your comment about going to CVS for your cancer treatments. Ha! Since their obviously in charge seems like a fair question to me. What time to you show up at their infusion room.

I sure hope you can get this resolved soon...what a nightmare. This is far too much stress on you and there is no excuse for it...none of it makes any sense. I just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping today brings an end to this and you get what you need! Sending lots of positive energy your way.

Chelee
