Contacted by finance office of Oncologist-because of insurance 80/20 my share of chemo is $250 but they are going to cut it in half to 125,so 3 chemos a month 375.Told her no way could I afford that and I'd just have to do without.I told them I'd contact surgeon and just do surgery.Thought my chances went fom good to so-so and how do I tell my girlfreind.Then finance office person said what they could do was give me chemo in hospital because insurance would pay for it then.Right now I'm just in knots as to whats going to happen.Seems if they can mess with you thet do...
