Thank you for your reply Tom. I sincerely appreciate it. I think the problem is exactly as you described. Medicare will not approve a fifth chemo treatment of Cisplatin and Etoposide. His oncologist is pushing through something else that may or may not be chemo and/or immunotherapy. The problem is that he doesn't remember exactly what she said. I'll get to the bottom of it when I have a day off tomorrow. Do the insurance companies not approve chemo after 4 treatments because it will not cure him? The prognosis is not good, I get it, but still it seems a bit inhumane. I'm curious what you think the reasoning is?
Thank you,Sean
