Our Patient Advocate called yesterday afternoon to let us know that our insurance company had authorized half of Nate's surgery. Half? Yes, I said half. They approved the tumor debulking, but they didn't authorize the heated chemo, or HIPEC. We're "working" with them to figure out how we can get it authorized before we need to fly out to Massachusetts for the surgery. We do have a tentative date for the surgery of June 19.
Nate's still doing well! He's been off chemo now for 2 weeks, and is recovering from all of the side effects. We're hoping that he'll just keep getting better and better over the next month so he can have a little break before the big surgery.
Thanks again for all the prayers and love you've all given. Pray for good vibes from insurance!
cut half way, de-bulk half way, half the chemo...... isn't that called half-@$%ed
