hi, my husband was told on Feb.16,2009 that he had pancretic cancer. he was told here at home in N.C. there was no hope so we went to the cancer treatment center in Penn. he received 5 weeks of IMRT radation 1 week off and then started chem.2weeks on and one week off. The chem was gemzar. oxiplatin,and erbituck. This was very aggressive. He was in alot of pain and very sick. he lost alot of weight over 100lbs. My husband of 40 years passed away on July 15,2009 only 5 months later. Now his insurance company is saying his treatments were experimental and investigational and will not pay for his treatments. we were not told this when he was having treatments and now his hospital bill is outragous. Has anyone else had this problem and can tell me what i can do. I work at Wal-Mart and there is no way I can pay a bill at almost 200,000 dollars. thanks for listening
