Candi Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Good Morning All, I hope this finds everyone doing well. I have put in a request to be transferred to Oregon’s big nationally recognized institution Oregon Health and Science University. They are world renowned for many things including cancer. Please pray with me if it is Gods will all will go smoothly as these drs here are essentially just waiting for me to die and last night and this morning were not good reflecting on the numbers. I so appreciate all of your support, God Bless. Candi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi Candi Sounds like your spirit is very strong. I will pray that the transfer will produce a positive change. Maybe a clinical trial?? Hang onto your faith. One day at a time. A big hug. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candi Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hello Michelle, Joy and Paula, Thank you so much for your support, encouragement and prayers. The transfer will not take place at this time as the other facility does not feel they would add anything beneficial to my treatment at this time so therefore we shall wait and find out what comes next. The Dr.’s here appear to be pressing for a discion as to what my wishes are in the next couple of weeks should things not improve as they are not expected to. I am not sure of their goal but was told by a nurse it is their way of stating they have done all they can, shall we proceed with finalization? No! That is God’s descision so i need to now contact my insurance and find a fascility to accommodate me or a full time in home health, I’ll let you know what I find. Thank you for allowing me to vent and air my thoughts, I sincerely do not know what I would do without all of you...God Bless. Candi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Candi- I don’t think you need to be contacting the insurance company. There should be a hospital nurse care coordinator or social worker to do that for you. This is in God’s hands and your faith is strong. The doctors don’t get to decide. I admire your strength & spirit. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hi Michelle, I wondered about contacting my insurance however they have an advocate there to advice me as to what will be covered and what won’t. I am not on Medicare/Medicaid as I don’t qualify, this is my regular Blue Cross through my employer would that make a difference? I appreciate your help.

Rower Michelle Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have employer sponsored insurance too (Cigna). I asked for assistance from their care management department. Initially the insurance care managers looked for the covered providers & services. See if you can put these people to work for you so you can save your energy.

Tom Galli Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Candi, I've been following your posts and am distraught at your current situation. Lung cancer is such a horrible disease and sometimes its treatment can be worse as you well know. Know that I am praying everyday for your recovery and peace. Stay the course.
