Insurance Nightmare

This morning at 8:30 we met with the radiation oncologist at the University Hospital. The procedure of TBI (total body radiation) was explained to us and, of course, the negatives seemed to stick in our minds more than the positives. It's pretty scary what they do, but they seem to know what they are doing, so we just have to trust them. You are certainly in their hands! Chest x-rays were taken and will be used to build a shield to protect Dave's lungs, as the lungs are the most sensitive of the organs. That in itself was pretty unnerving. We got through that okay then met with our transplant physician hoping for an idea of when treatment starts. Of course, insurance isn't sure they will cover the 2nd transplant, so that is on hold. They should make their decision tomorrow. That leaves everything up in the air! We are really frustrated this evening and want to get the treatment started. The plan is starting chemo on the 4th, but that's not a definite. We will be glad when things get straightened out. I see Dave struggling with all these issues and pray for strength for him.
