Marie got her chemo treatment today. The plan was to have chemo three days in a row, wait about four week and then three more days in a row. The weeks in between chemo treatments would be blood tests, to monitor the cell count. After three sessions of these three day treatments, another MRI would be scheduled to see if the chemo is working.
Marie was supposed to start her second round last week. It was delayed while the medicals took a second look at the brain scans and report, to reassess whether this treatment was truly what should be done, in light of the insurance company's denial.
The doctors did reaffirm that this is the right treatment to proceed with. Yesterday, we scheduled the appointment for Marie's chemo treatment, that would start today. We didn't hear from the insurance company, that they reversed their decision, until this morning. We had decided to go ahead with the treatments, even without the insurance company's support. It was good news, though, to find out that all sides agreed.
