I was recently diagnosed with a rare cancer called Leiomyosarcoma. My insurance company is refusing to pay for the treatment I need. The final 3rd level external appeal was submitted yesterday and I will have an answer in 72 hours. If they deny coverage, the proton therapy I need will cost $60,000. This has been a very emotional and trying time for me. I believe in the power of prayer and I hope the review committee will find it in their hearts to approve the treatment I need. Traditional radiation would cause severe damage to my heart and lungs.
Thank You,
Julie

I just read this this morning. So happy you're going to be getting what you need. I will be praying for you and your mother. It seems like when it rains it pours. It is comforting to know that you have your faith. Mine has gotten me through so much. Keep looking up and may God protect you under the shadow of his wings. My mother used to say....think of a mother hen and her chicks under her wings. God be with you in a special way.

On 1/11/2012 Arley said:Julie - I am soo sorry for your problem. I think it is a disgrace what is happening in this country when someone is diagnosed with a catastrophic illness and not only are they afraid of their disease they have to be frightened with the insurance co. This can happen to any one of us. Something has to be done in this country so that you can get the treatment you need without having to FIGHT for your life but a CORPORATION!!!! I had a transplant and I know how scarey it is. I was fortunate but not everybody is. God Bless you and I will be praying for you!!!! The people in this country need to put a stop to the greedy insurance compaanys!!!!

I thought the ACA was suppose to end insurance companies from declining treatments !!!
My prayers are with you Julie - stay positive and please know people are praying for you.
I am so ANGRY about this - let me get off this thread before I get into trouble.
