All time low... Some people have no class at all.

I hope you get the treatment for your son... Best of luck

What other therapies have they been using for your son? I'm assuming that this has been a chronic condition for them to be considering a BMT as a treatment option.

Also, I'd file an appeal with Medicaid. In general, Medicaid does not dismiss treatment in patients under 18 where "percentages" are concerned. The 5 year cure rate for glioblastoma is only 10%, but Medicaid will still cover all the surgeries, radiation, and chemo required to offer a chance of cure... albeit slim.

The Scouts are covered by insurance when on Scouting activities. Have you inquired about their insurance covering this since it is related to a Boy Scout outing?

I cannot offer money right now-- but if you need help with the appeals process, or would like a list of alternative resources for medical help, PM me. I have quite a few friends in hematology and I can probably find sources for you to turn to for help.

Both of you guys are heartless and very uncool........Maybe if it happened to your family you would not be such assholes, (but then you just might be).

Brit, sorry for your situation. Many years ago I found myself in a similar situation when my daughter was diagnose with leukemia. My doctor suggested Shriners Childrens Hospital. I took her there and they treated her which include bone marrow transplant at absolutely no charge. They don't even have a billing department. Don't know how old your son is but if he is still a child I would suggest you check with them. they are great people. Best to you and your son.

Ahh yes, like the dancer that explained to you (in front of me-I witnessed firsthand) how your review caused her to have to move, spend money on a plane ticket, and caused her to lose visitation of her kid, not to mention cause her mom to think she was a whore. And she was crying most of the time in front of us. So I gave her a hundred to help with the ticket, no strings attached. Then after we pressured you into helping out, you offered her $60, but wanted some dances with extras in return. That's what I call heartless and uncool.

It's easy to be an armchair good samaritan, but when put to the test, you failed, bigdog.

maybe, maybe not. if you have some proof, then post it.
otherwise, it seems you're just mucking this up.

brittney, i dont know you and dont know anything about you other than what i've read in threads thru the years.

however, you're making a request for assistance for a very serious and very costly medical condition. and some folks might be skeptical about this kind of a post [remember the nitwitboy thread and saga??].

so, to head off stuff like durango posted, i suggest you contact a verified and reputable provider [for example, fawn or december love], show her the info, and then let her report back about this situation.

in any event, peace be with you as you make it thru this episode in your life.
