Because things can never be easy....

I can't write about this on FB because it's something that's being kept under wraps for now.... 

So to add to the fact that my Mom is dying, today I find out that my Dad's prostate cancer came back and has not spread elsewhere. For the last 3 weeks my aunt has been fighting with the insurance company trying to get this medication approved that they want to put him on which has been proven super effective in eliminating it but they won't because it's expensive. It's $5100 a month.

My aunt told me tonight that she decided that they would pay for the medication for at least a month (they'll take it out of my cousin's college fund) and then go from there. They don't know how they'd get him to the chemo (which is the alt. to the pill) while my Mom is still "here" because she is always very aware of when he is or isn't there and lying to her probably wouldn't get very far. Her biggest fear of dying is leaving my Dad so her knowing this would only make the whole process for her more agonizing than it already is.  

 Seriously, CANCER SUCKS.

  • Justine, I am truly sorry for what you are going through and wish that we could all take it away.  i went through something similar where we lost our grandparents, an aunt, and a great aunt to cancer and other diseases all within a year or so.  It was the most difficult time we have ever experienced.  I was a teenager at that time, but I was very aware of what was happening.  It took me a long time to cope with the losses and I still get some anxiety about losing my parents or any loved one in that way. Cancer and insurance companies are both f****** b******!!!!! t
  • I'm so sorry, Justine :( This is so much to have to handle at once.
