Ever since my previous diary on Kos, Group Health has become more responsive to my requests. They paid for a second opinion with Seattle Cancer Care Alliance ("SCCA") and yesterday, based upon the input from SCCA, the final decisions concerning my treatment were made. You can read about it on my personal blog, if you are interested.
You should also know that I am given to understand (through private sources) that my earlier posting on Daily Kos was seen at Group Health and it had an effect on how I have been treated by them since then. So please, do know, that this group has made a significant effect in large and small, tangible and intangible ways not only in my life but I am sure in the lives of many others. Edited on 12/22/09 to add that today I discovered an email on my yahoo email which I rarely visit, from a Kos member who emailed my intial story to a relative on the Board of Group Health and that seems to have been the catalyst for change!
Thank you to all in the Kos community for your continuing support. And especially to Rain for her fabulous skills as a seamstress. I am deeply indebted to you all.
