Re: My MRI came back normal.... now what... ?

[Guest guest]

Like I said you have to get creative somehow. I new going in to this

surgery that I would be footing the bill if there were problems as it

is an elevtive surgical procedure, even if you have problems most

people don't get it convered by insurance, however it seems there are

a few women on this site that have so maybe they can help you out on

that issue, for me it was just a big pain and lots of money, and I am

still paying for it. It sucks, but what choice did I have anyway.

Sorry for not being more helpful.

Hi ,

Thanks for the advice, I don't choose to be a victim and I will do

what I can to get the insurance to cover my explantation. My husband

is a resident alian from Canada. We must be very careful about our

finances or he can be deported. My SS check is $314 a month, his take

home pay from the state is about $1500 a month after taxes. With our

house payment high electric bills, insurance and of course my medical

bills and our car payment and so forth there is nothing left for us

to spen the way it is. I cannot put the surgery on a credit card,

because we could not be able to pay it back and eat let alone pay our

bills. We don't borrow what we cannot repay, even if he were not

from Canada we would not put our self at risk. It's difficult to

make ends meet for 2 of us on one pay check. It may take me becoming

very ill before the isurance will pick up the tab on this. I hope

and pray that it won't come down to this for me/us, at this point we

have no other choice but to keep fighting.

Like I said I just wondered if anyone had normal breast MRI's or

not... this could help me when I go before the appeals board. I have

another MRI of the brain next Weds. the insurance will end up paying

more in the long run for tests and specialist to figure out my

symptoms and illness than it would cost them to have me explanted.

In the last 5 years my medical bills have been over 100,000.00 You

think that they would be thrilled to do something that may make me

better! lol

Anyway thanks a lot for the info and your thoughts I love my husband

a bunch and I do not want to do anything that will risk his

deportatio. We must remain financially solid or we run the very real

risk of the US Gov placing him on a bus and sending him back to

Canada.

I will continue to keep this matter in prayer and look for miracles

in Gods answers to my prayers. He always makes a way when there is no

way! It will be His perfect timing and not my own...

Deb,

Was this doctor on your insurance plan knowledgeable about silicone

issues?

Is there any way you can see another doctor, such as Dr. Zamboni for

a second opinion? Maybe you need to approach the insurance from a

different angle, not based on rupture, but possibly capsular

contracture.

Well, I just got off the phone with you, and we covered a bit of

ground....

I would suggst that you write Ilena Rosenthal and ask her to put your

questions out to her group of worldwide women. You will be able to

get responses from women who have had this exact situation and see

what they might have to say about it. You can write Ilena at:

ilena@...

Having said that, I want to share with you a Scripture that I have

always stood upon when people have had control over my life, who may

have been making decisions that would greatly affect me. It has

given me great comfort when I pray this and lay it at the foot of the

cross, knowing that God is in control, even of the hearts of those

who are " king " over me. It is Proverbs 21:1, and it says this:

" The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord;

He turns it wherever He wishes. " (New American Standard)

The Amplified Bible says it this way:

" The king's heart in in the hand of the Lord as are the watercourses;

He turns it whichever way He will. "

You see, nothing happens apart from the will of the Lord God above.

Pray for a miracle, and that God will direct the heart of the " king "

over you.

God bless.

Love,

Patty
