Treatment on Halloween, 10/31, went well and the wait was shorter than usual which is always a miracle. That means one more treatment in the chemo room 11/27, the day before Thanksgiving. New scans will be done in December. Labs all still look good for a guy with lymphoma. The treatment will continue through June which throws a monkey wrench into things.
The one drug Eric will continue to take costs $11,300/ mo. Under our current insurance through his employer, we have a $6000 annual out of pocket so we will have to cough that up right off the bat in January which is quite a bitter pill to swallow, no pun intended. But after that, insurance will cover it for the duration.
Eric will be 65 on 12//6 and is eligible for Medicare but even with prescription drug coverage and the supplement, our cost is so expensive, we'd be out of pocket more than $6000. So, Eric will have to continue working to continue the insurance to pay for this drug. How 'bout that? Not a pleasant topic for us, as you can imagine.
But we count our blessings and among those are that this treatment seems to be working. We will look forward to the result of the scans in December. Til then....
