    Since you guys are talking about Medicare- For part B; if anyone is considering Humana; if your meds are not on formulary; don't waste your time because they don't care if you take the meds because you have medical necessity or allergies to meds on formulary. If the meds are not on formulary; they will not cover it- period. Even with an appeal.

      See this link to order similar guides http://www.cancercare.org/publications/order Quote Broken- I couldn't stand the thought of tossing this most valuable little book that I acquired after the loss of my late husband in Aug. 2010 from tongue cancer.  It holds a wealth ofinformationwww.cancercare.org1-800-813-HOPE (4673).  It's called A Helping Hand, The Resource Guide for People With Cancer.  In a...

        Chances are he's going to have to really do his homework because A root canal & cap are not cheap; my daughter has delta dental; our price with insurance was $2,000 per tooth. My hubs insurancecovers a lot more per root canal & cap. The only way for him to know if root canal & cap are an option is he has to make the call. Keep in mind that a root canal does not guarantee you get to save the tooth. Having...

            Newest update from Redrover- My wife got an over size key board for me because  of the palsy in my hands and making so many keyboard errors.  I am still adapting and learning to type over  again. Please be patient with me. I continue to lose weight and am in and out of the hospital so often, I don’t always know where I am. I am working at getting better and the dietician has started me on a fo...

              De; I'm happy to see that you are still "seeing" your mom.. I know it brings me a lot of comfort to know he's here. He recently sent someone to me.. I switched away from cancer to help a gal I didn't know with her almost 3 yr old girl having a brain/spine surgery. Something was telling me to just jump in even though I knew nothing about upper spine (my back issues are lower).. I joined groups to post updates; one end...

                Also; copy your post & put it straight into the main section of Gynecologic Cancers. With most of the boards here; the main heading gets the most hits. Some of these sub-headings are worthless for quick advice. ~Hugs

                  I don't know if I should even post.. The more I read about the vax the less I like it. To each their own; hopefully they will figure out how long the vax is actually in effect. I also read that some vaccines are not stored properly to begin with; so they're putting a lot of faith in that alone. I've also heard that some kids think this is the "safe sex" vaccine. It is not; there are other STD's it does not protect a...

                    If my post is shown twice it's because they're holding it due to me giving a link to GNC. I just redid it without the link This was true for my hub as well & within 24 hours of it being removed; a lot of symptoms cleared up. The peg was horrible no matter how much we cleaned it & when they pulled it out; it was black. I wanted them to culture it a few months before; the general surgeon refused. I don't want...

                      The right doctors can make all the difference when it comes to treating cancer. So why don't we know who they are?

                      What You Don’t Know Might Kill You

                      Very interesting article on how not all cancer centers are the same. Long article but worth the read.

                      It also says to check if a center follows National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines....... .................

An oncologist whose life is dedicated to treating nothing but one cancer will have seen many more and very diverse cases than an oncologist who maybe has treated a few cases of the same cancer during his entire career.

                      It is also true that an oncologist who devotes his entire career to patients with your cancer, will usually have better results than an oncologist who doesn't, just because he has more knowledge.
