Al,
Excellent news! My onc called me back today after I faxed him the suggestions you and others made. He said that in the U.S., insurance companies aren't yet accepting Avastin and that it costs $10,000 per dose. He said we would have to sign a form for the providers stating that we would pay out-of-pocket if the insurance co. didn't agree. Then we would get our treatments. If the insurance cos. don't pay, we would have to appeal. A risky enterprise.
But we hope the Avastin works so well that the FDA will approve soon! So tell Linda to help those statistics along.
Love and light,
Lisa
