Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help that may have experienced what my friend is going through now.
She's been stage iv for eleven years, a great achievement but her original hormone and her2 status was wrong and she's just discovered she's now hormone pos and her2 negative.
She's been through most chemo drugs by now but her onc has decided to give avastin, sadly her insurance company have denied coverage unless it's given with a chemo??
Does anyone know if this is the norm or can help me to help her with advice on how to fight this???
Otherwise she will add a chemo but her body is quite exhausted from years of these toxic meds along with many lasting from side effects so her onc felt avastin alone would have been sufficient for now at least.
I just thought if anyone has faced something similar it would be someone on this board and very much appreciate any help you can give as does my friend.
Thank you, she's quite exhauseted and just can't research much herself right now, she lives in Florida not Ireland btw
