Too good to be true...

1st off...we were under the impression that Biologics was going to pay for dad's Chemo for a year.  They sent us a letter, said we were approved, and never mentioned a copay.  Well we got a bill this past Saturday and they want dad to pay over $1000.00 for his copay.  I'm not sure what we are going to do...I am going to have to call them tomorrow and see what is going on,

2nd...dad had been 2 weeks without any seizures...we just knew his medication and steriod were working, but last night he had a seizure.  It was a mild one, but it is still scary for dad.  His doctor has ssaid to give him ativan when he is having them, but he is unable to take the medicine, drink, and have a seizure at the same time.

3rd...We were hoping dad was only going to have 5 sessions of radiation...bless his heart, dad used to be the cooker in the house, the one who did all the things in the kitchen, and this past weekend, he had to ask me how many scoops it took to make lemonade.  This wouldn't be so bad, but he was the one that taught us how many scoops it too.  So he found out today that he is going to have 5 more doses, totaling 10 doses of whole brain radiation. 

UGH....
