~More Doctors Today~

HI HO....HI HO...It's off to the Doctor's I go......
Today I go to the doctors again (oncologist Dr. Ghosh) to have more blood work done and to see if I will need to have the RED Blood Cell shot again. The WHITE Blood Cell shot I get the day after chemo is $6000.00 PER SHOT....YES SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ONE SHOT. The red blood cell one I get today, is ONLY....LOL...$5000.00 per shot.
Did I tell you that each chemo treatment with my shots is a little over $21,000.00 EACH TIME!!!
HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT WITHOUT INSURANCE??? And how do people do it that have no so good insurance???
JUST FOR MY CHEMO ALONE (not including the hospital stays, the surgeries, and all the medicines I have been on)it will cost over $125,000.00. IS THAT INSANE???
SO, off to the doctors I go again today.....but soon it will ALL BE OVER....AND I CANNOT WAIT TO STOP LOOKING LIKE UNCLE FESTER!!!!
HAPPY HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE....Amy

Amy, Sweetie when you commented on how I honored you, you made me cry!! You stinker you! Honey you are such an inspriration to me! There are so many days since my back has been injured that I want to just crawl in a hole. But Amy you make me see there is a world out there to savor and not to give in! I get pissed cause my knee is swollen and my pants won't fit my leg, and then I think of you and realize, how petty. God has given me family, and friends to love and help me and I fight it off sometimes to pity myself, what the heck for! Girlie you have taught me to LIVE!!! It could be worst. Yeah I know I hurt, I know things fit different, but I can dust myself off and go out there and do my thing! After all you've been through, you taught each and everyone of us, that we need to hold onto what we love! You can smile and darn it so can I too! By the way, where the heck do you live?? Oh, you look so happy and pretty in pink! Take care and have a fun week, no matter how smal the fun, I know you will enjoy it, and I will do the same too! All my love, Lori

Amy, forget about all those bills---it only stresses you out more. Just one of mine was $284,000 for my 30 day stay. Thank goodness we had decent insurance, so we only had to pay $43,000 in the 6 years. I hope you visit goes well today. You look great and love that smile. Hugs, Pat
