Well, I did NOT sleep well at all last night....after dealing with the all the issues regarding the new chemo pills Cat is to get....finding out she has to pay almost $700 every 3 weeks, her CoPay amount, and that does NOT include what her CoPay for the Tykerb will be....we were stressed to the Max.....she broke down and cried her eyes out...I felt so helpless, so useless to her...I made 4 trips each to the Pharmacy and to the Oncologists....and tried to get a refund for the $480 copay she had to pay at the Drug Store...and to be told, well, we validated that check, and you will have to let us wait 10 days and cut you a refund check...I said No, you didn't wiat 10 days to get paid, and you validated that check today, so we want our monies back TODAY as well...the tech hung up on me at Pharmacy...
Now, the FMLA is up, she has been terminated....THAT was a blow....and there is NO WAY she can work NOR can she pay those exorbitant Cobra Fees....so, can we say STRESSED...to the Max.....what does one do? How do people survive....and No one will hire me and cover her with insurance...because of "backwoods laws" and prejudices....I see everything we had left, a Van and her motorcycle...going, going, gone.....talk about adding insult to injury....we already live in a crappy house with even sorrier landlords.....guess when we are in a cardboard box on the streets or up in under a bridge.....that is about where we are headed....I can't think straight now...will be back later...on my soapbox again, I am sure...she is crying her eyes out...how are we going to get help to pay for her chemo...she needs the drugs the doctor ordered.....could I sell my soul...I totally understand how folks resort to some of the ways and means they do....that SAME train that has hit us in 2006, 2007, surely has hit us again....what is it with this train....how do we get out of its way....oh help..please, someone do a Benefit soon...please.....
How can she possibly keep positive, focusing on healing her body when everyday this week almost has been bad news, worse news, and really BAD news....
