Well the insurance company strikes again! They denided the procedure for John as "experimental" (it is NOT). This procedure has been done for several years. We have a friend in Texas who has had it done twice with great success. John's oncologist and surgeon have filed a appeal.So it will go to a review board for consideration. "Maybe" it will be done next week. As they say, "Stay tuned". We will let you all know the outcome. Please continue to keep John in your prayers.
