Great news! Also, we talked to the financial counselor at the doctor's office and when DH does need chemotherapy, it won't cost us nearly as much as we thought it would. And to add to that, there is a financial aid program for people whose household income is less than $100,000. We fit well below that level. First time I can honestly say I'm glad we don't make a bunch of money...
Good morning! I'm glad you got good results from the Dr. My DH also has leukemia, (exposure to chemicals in the Military), and i know the relief that good reports can bring. I hope that all continues to be fine for ya'll. Fortunately, the VA covers my DH's care...chemo would have bankrupted us. Just know that you are in my prayers...You and your DH.
Thank you for your prayers, DianD. Both my DH and I appreciate it very much! He is doing okay still--we just got back from a quick trip to go see our new little granddaughter. So happy to have gotten to go finally. She was nearly 3 weeks old when finally got to see her and her parents. The trip was hard on both of us, but glad to have gone and glad to be back home again!
