Re: Help-Advice needed to get Ins To pay for Projeta
KDR,
Thank you for the quick response and kind words. I agree its time for a new Onc! I have called my company benefits Manager, my insurance advocate at the ins company - got all voice mails so waiting for call backs.
I found this on the FDA website - a news release dated Sept 30th, 2013
"Perjeta new use is intended for patients with HER2 positive locally advanced, inflammatory or early stage Breast cancer (tumor larger than 2cm in diameter or with positive lymph nodes) who are at high risk of having their cancer return or spread OR OF DYING from the disease"
Did you have any problems with ins and how was Perjeta
Thanks so much, I'm trying to stay calm.
Pat
