So...first chemo - leads to an allergic reaction and anaphylactic shock Doctor picks a new chemo which is scheduled for tomorrow. Today, my insurance company denies this chemo Insurance is the biggest racket in this country They would really just rather you died after taking all your money

Health care is a human right in western democracies, with the exception of the USA. I hope you can be treated properly.

Your doctor can appeal it with more detailed information. That often works

My husband couldn't tolerate his chemo. It messed with his heart. The doctor told him there is no other drug for it. I'm happy you have an alternative treatment. I had to change insurance until I found one that would cover my autoimmune disease treatment (Ivig for CIDP). Took me 7 years.

Sorry for what you're going through. Also, yes. I had to get diabetes before my insurance... would give me meds to deal with diabetes. Instead of giving me meds that would've prevented that from ever happening. Then it took them 2 weeks to approve the drug they said I COULD get.

I'm sorry you had a bad reaction AND can't get the treatment you should get. Yeah, they'd really rather us die. My father has been a PT for 50ish years. Has always said "health insurance will trip over a dollar to save a penny." They don't get it, or care.

I've been on chemo for six years, and the side effects are weird. I've gone from having super long eyelashes to being blind for a few days. Good luck, wishing you well.

Damn it. You shouldn't have to fight them on this, but I hope there's a way to appeal it so you can get the treatment you need. I'm so sorry ❤️‍🩹

My doctor is working on it so hopefully it won't land in my lap. Just have a feeling it's going to delay treatment another freaking week which I hate because I just want to get this started so it can be finished.

So, so sorry. This is a crime against humanity, especially when these people attack the sickest, who might be too weakened and overwhelmed to fight back.

So sorry Ally. Not nearly as dire, but insurance needed us to send them more detail about a dental procedure my wife recently had because they didn't have enough info on it It was a root canal...

Right? Like they don't have that information already? They want us to jump through our own hoops for no reason whatsoever. Human life should never have become a business and I'm sick that we got here
