OK - the doctor from John Hopkins called and is very upset that our insurance looks to be calling all mini-transplants, experimental. And of course, they do not cover experimental transplants. He explained that a full (or high dosage chemo) transplant would not be good for a second time, as rate of death goes up dramatically.
Pray for Adele and I that she gets the mini transplant she needs. Our doctor went so far as to recommend that we look into the "National Cancer Institute" and get an appointment to see if they have any "Clinical Trials" that would be applicable to Adele. He says always keep an option "B", but we know we both want the option A @ Hopkins.
Chemo will start Friday anyway, as it needs to be done now, his words, and we will need to go to Bethesda, Md for the appointment. If there is a trial, it could be free for her, then who needs the insurance. Although I am sure there would be some type of adjustment in the treatment - depending on the trial.
Pray for the Insurance Company to come through!
