"I'm sorry to hear that. What's worrying you the most at the moment with relation to the health issues?" The usual- costs, coverage, quality of life. Are you sure nobody will cover it pre-existing? I saw Cigna has an international plan that might. It's likely the premiums will be very large. Maybe medical tourism could help with costs, like in Thailand. On a side note, maybe it's possible to manufacture the drug yourself? I mean, what will the company do - sue someone who's already broke from paying for the meds? I guess the other option is to find a different job, with a local company, that will provide insurance. |

I don't know what you're going through but I feel you, stay strong. Yesterday the stress and anxiety built up to a point where I had to let it out and cried a bit. It's a cycle that repeats every couple of weeks. I'm thinking about getting in touch with a psychologist, I don't want to develop depression or anxiety issues.

I'll look into that, thanks for the suggestion. I'd researched a few and their reps told me they wouldn't cover pre-existing, but I hadn't looked at Cigna.

Kadcyla is the drug, by gut tells making it myself is not a viable option for a number of reasons.

Local health insurance companies don't cover oncology drugs. Also, they pay 4x less than what I'm getting now (I'm in a small South American country).
