Re: Help! Brain mets besides lung mets

Kavy, I don't have specific recommendations for you, but I do remember something that my onc said to me when she recommended that I get a 2nd opinion. She said that my insurance (kaiser) will only pay for treatment at their own facilities. However, if I go for a second opinion, and that 2nd opinion recommends a treatment that kaiser cannot offer me, they must pay for an outside provider to provide it for me. I don't know if this will help any in your case, but I noticed you said that your ins. company did not have the radiation type you wanted and the doc you went to does not accept any insurances. Maybe you can ask your insurance about what I was told???
