Help-Advice needed to get Ins To pay for Projeta
Hi everyone
I'm having a really bad time, saw Onc yesterday to review PET. She walked in and said its horrible much much than she expected. I am lighting up in many places including 2 spots on liver.
I finished 4 doses of Kadcyla and the cancer grew like wildfire during that time. The new plan is Taxol, Herception and Perjeta. The financial person said Aetna would pay and then called back and said she thinks it's going to be a problem, how cruel!
Anyone have any insight as to how I might get this approved, when I asked the Onc how long I would have with no treatment she said weeks to.3 months. I'm terrified to say the least .... Any advice is appreciated.
Pat
I also have Blue Cross of CA as secondary ins
