One door closes and another opens...

I think I finally got connected to the person I need to really help me out up at Stanford. Talked with "Jennifer" today and she told me that Sharp should cover this.....that Cyberknife is different than Brainlab (the machine they use). I also think they 'should' but I am not the insurance administrators who are looking at $$$$$. She also gave me some websites to get information (info on Cyberknife and for appealing) and she also said that 'they' would put in a request on my behalf to go up there.

I am trying hard not to get my hopes up because it seems like things just have not worked out in my favor but we shall see. In the meantime, I am still working on my appeal, 'waiting' to get information from Sharp and Stanford and then I will send it off - and PRAY like no tomorrow that something good happens. I am going to have to go get a thicker 3-ring binder - my 1" is maxed out now! :(

In the meantime, my best friend Kim decided to throw a fund-raiser for me. She called to tell me and said that it was 'already in place' and that it was going to happen......of course I am in awe of her generosity, all the time and effort she is taking to do this is just amazing. I do kind of feel a little weird about it all because NEVER did I think I would be in this position. All the love and support I have gotten from friends (even those I haven't talked to in a long time) mean the world to me. It keeps me going and pushes me to just get this stuff done - and to not give up.

Kim - I love you to death and am so glad we have stayed best friends for 25+ years!!! I am still at a loss for words. And Peter - you rock!!! (Kim's hubby!)
