Re: HELP!!!!!! Pertuzumab denied by insurance! iN PANIC MODE AND DON'T KNOW THAT TO
First, back away from the ledge! Next, breathe! Breathe some more...Got to have your wits about you if you will be doing battle. We know there is alot of information and experience on this board and people will be stepping up with suggestions and advice. Does your treatment facility have any sort of patient advocate service?
Mostly, keep the faith.
