Copay's, Deductibles & Out of Pocket OH MY!!!


https://www.gofundme.com/3xv8ra8k


          A very special coworker took it upon herself to set up an account to help me with medical expenses. I was in shock, speechless and at the same time so very appreciative.  I never expected that anyone would go out of their way for me.  I'm still amazed every time I think about it.  There truly are kindhearted people in the world that follow the "Golden Rule." Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.


Below is an excerpt of the Fundraiser Campaign

          This is Jeannette.  My beautiful, bubbly and extremely friendly friend with the biggest smile and heart.  She was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer (there is NO Stage 5). It spread into numerous lymph nodes in her neck, chest, liver AND her spine.  She had a cancerous mass that had nearly disintegrated three vertebrae and worked its way into the spinal column, making its way to her spinal cord.  She underwent major Spinal Surgery on 3/29/16 to avoid permanent paralysis!

          Her medical bills are piling up ridiculously and are only expected to grow.  I have decided to set up this page to help with those expenses.  Her medical insurance will only cover a % percentage (insurance terms such as "Deductibles & Out Of Pocket" come into play here) and she will have to take days off work for Radiation and Chemotherapy. Her BCBS effective date is June 1st. Her copays, deductibles and Out of Pocket return to $0 ZERO.  Which means she has to try and met her 2k deductible and her 4k Out of Pocket all over again before her insurance will pick up. Her being a single parent could use all te help she can get.  I personally know that she will appreciate each and every dollar donated.
        Please help my friend who has a heart of Gold! Thank you,
Olivia Lopez

I don't want chemo I NEED chemo

I NEVER POSTED THIS IN JANUARY 2018 So basically, with my new insurance I needed a prior authorization to get my bone strengthener infusion and my chemo pills. I got the prior authorization however I have to pay 4 thousand for one of my chemo pills and 5 thousand for the second one. Esther in the pharmacy called me with this news. She said she was able to get me a grant but it only covers the first medication and not the other. She didn't want to fill the one by itself because I take both medications together as they work better together. I told her I couldn't pay for the second. She said she would ask someone in the patient services department for help finding another grant. Gracie from patient services called me back a few hours later, 4 o'clock this past Friday. She said she couldn't find anything that I qualify for. Mostly because I'm working (part time 15hrs a week) so I'm making to much money. I was so angry because if I was at home not working I woul

CT Results

Well, it's not the news I wanted to hear. My cancer is no longer "stable" It has progressed in my lung and lymphnodes. My run with perjeta, herceptin and taxotere has come to an end. My oncologist is trying to get Tykerb and Xeloda approved by my insurance. Once approved I will no longer take my original medication through my mediport every 3 weeks but rather my new medication In pill form two weeks on and one week off. I'm worried how my body will react to stopping the medication I've been on for just over a year and starting something completely new. Will it be a shock to my body? I'm worried of the side effects of the new medications. Especially the sores in my mouth and the hand and foot syndrome which causes my palms and bottom of my feet to dry up and crack and bleed making it difficult to walk. Of course the usual side effects of diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue are attached to these drugs. I'll face any and all issues as I'm faced with them. I g

Aches, withdrawal & depression, Merry Christmas to me

Image
I've been in bed since Saturday night with a bad stomach bug. I missed Christmas and this makes me so sad. I heard the happy jolly festivities comencing in the rest of the house as I lay moaning and groaning in a bundle in the corner room trying to sleep it off on Christmas Eve. I heard the door creak open and I half awoke from a nap. I didn't realize my son was sitting on the edge of the bed by my side in the dark. The creak from the door opening was my mother checking in on me. I heard her step in and speak to my son. She said, "no, mijo don't cry, your mommas going to be ok" I was half asleep but I still felt that tinge in my heart as it ached for him as I hate making him sad. I drifted back to sleep as he layed down next to me. Although I was asleep I was a happy momma he was laying by my side. I heard my brothers check in on me as they whispered Merry Christmas to me each at separate times. My sister came in and offered to take me to the ER as she heard me
