Sheila - can I ask what insurance you have? I am VERY lucky to have medicare. My doc gives me what I need. Medicare denies coverage. Then we (doc and I) write letters why I needed the treatment they denied and then after a few months they cover it. Happens all the time. I am lucky enough my doc works with me, but then again my treatments are huge in cost and he always gets paid in the end. Good luck sweetie. Believe me, I know very well how much this stinks. I've been bald six times, and just this week I was able to pull my hair back into a small pony tail!!!! Hang in there!!!!
