And while Chris is asleep, I'm still monitoring him for issues.
If it continues, off to the ER we go.
In the meantime, Friday I was informed by the neurologist that insurance won't approve the neurological studies (2 MRIs and 2 MRAs) necessary to get Chris cleared for surgery to remove the cancer in his neck. Insurance wants the surgeon to order them.
The surgeon doesn't have credentials to order them. He wants the PCP to order them. The same PCP who sent the entire issue to the neurologist. 5 weeks ago.
Let's repeat this for the people in the back. WHILE MY HUSBAND IS DYING FROM LIFE-THREATENING CANCER, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WASTED 5 WEEKS AND DELAYED NECESSARY TREATMENT.
I am watching my husband die inch by inch, sometimes foot by foot, while the insurance company introduces unnecessary delays.
And of course it's not like they're paying the bills or living expenses. Those never stop.
Several people have said it feels like they're waiting for him to die so they can avoid paying. I don't know if that's true, but it certainly seems like it.
In the meantime we are BOTH losing our minds, and I need to pay insurance, rent, utilities, and all of that other stuff necessary to life. Because life doesn't stop for cancer.
As an extra bonus it seems Facebook has changed their algorithm again, and these posts aren't reaching that many people.
So please, if anyone could help, please do. We are just trying to make it through enough treatment to work again or make it through the end without getting evicted.
If you feel moved to help, I've still got the GoFundMe me up and running, PayPal to chris@chrisbyrne.com always works, Messenger Payments is a thing, Google Wallet is a thing (melody.byrne@gmail.com).
Thanks all,
Mel
