Hi everyone. Gary is okay BUT we NEED prayer like nobodys business.
Dr. Barth feels that chemo has taken Gary as far as it can at this point. Gary needs to start on Molecular Therapy ASAP. These drugs have proven extremely effective in stopping cancer from spreading and diminishing tumors all together. There is a problem.
Our insurance carrier - AETNA. They are fighting our doctor and their argument is that the chemo and readiation seem to have worked so why would we approved you for such expensive drugs. These drugs have been approved for other cancers but not bladder. Bladder cancer seeems to be somewhat of a "sleeper".
Dr. Barth feels that Gary NEEDS these drugs and he is currently fighting the insurance directors now.
We need prayer:
1. Pray that Dr. Barth can plead his case with these directors and that the directors listen and see the need to approve these drugs.
2. Pray that Gary's body is preparing to receive these drugs so that we can continue to kill of the cancer.
These drugs collectively (there are 4 - 2 oral, 2 IV) cost upwards of $60,000 per month. Hopefully our insurance company places importance on Gary's life! With prayer God can do anything!!! We have a 50/50 shot of getting them approved so please GET PRAYING!!!
Love, L&G
