Clarification

I'm afraid there might be some confusion as to my explanation of the 2nd transplant and insurance denial. I apologize if I didn't make this clear. I'll try to explain. The 2nd transplant is actually a precautionary step just in case of the possible development of leukemia IN THE FUTURE. Dave does not have leukemia but chemotherapy drugs can cause a development of MDS, a form of leukemia. This does not necessarily mean that Dave will develop leukemia; it is just a possibility. If a 2nd transplant is necessary, our insurance will most likely cover it at that time. BC/BS has been the best in coverage for the entire process and we are very thankful to the city for that excellent insurance benefit. Always feel free to ask questions, you know me - I love the challenge!
