No one fighting a disease like this should have to worry about how to pay for the treatments. It is obscene. I totally agree. That's actually my job - I'm a care coordinator for a big cancer center and I spend my days making sure cancer treatments are paid for. It's a lot harder than anyone even knows - just getting authorization doesn't mean much anymore. It's like insurance companies look for ways NOT to pay. I just want you to know, from this side, that the people who worry about the financial end care a lot and we do everything we can for our patients. One thing I suggested where I work - more people in financial counseling. Patients meet with a navigator when they start treatment from the medical side, and we (me and some of my teammates) think there should be a financial navigator too, to help work through the money side and to have a point of contact for issues like this. I'm so sorry for your brother. I hope his facility has financial counselors that can advise, both for funding and studies that are available. Stay strong.

I am so sorry. Prayers for your brother and the family. No one in his position should have to worry about how they are going to afford treatment.

I am so sorry. What a dreadful situation. Is it possible that perhaps they would let him keep his job for the insurance, but take a pay cut.
I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

That's a lot to go through and the additional job pressure is too much. Hugs and positive thoughts to your brother, you and family.

My own brother has been critically ill (life-threatening condition) many times over the last six years, and as a result, he has recently reached his lifetime limits for disability leave from his job. I live in fear of future episodes of his illness, because he absolutely LOVES his job and he has so little else in his life. If he were to be dismissed from his position, that alone might kill him. Suffice it to say, I can so closely relate to what you're going through, and I will certainly keep your dear brother and your family close in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for your brother, Katybee& you too. This is truly a distressing situation. I hate what is happening on the medical/insurance front in this country.

It seems unfair to have to have so many worries about your health and then have job/insurance loss piled on top of that. I'm sorry for all that he and your family are going through with this.
