10 years... and still here

Yes, life has been super busy for me over the last few years. Since my last posts, I graduated college and actually found a couple of really great jobs. My boys have excelled in school and my husband has shot to the top of that corporate ladder. Even still, my life with HCC has remained steady and I have worked tirelessly to maintain normalcy while the world around me is in a constant flux. Here is an update of where I am after nearly 10 years with HCC...

Score 1 for the Little Guy (or Lady in This Case)

Today, I received a call from the insurance company stating that my request was approved.  Some folks out there actually care :)

Therapy WORKS!

So, I have been going to Voice Physical Therapy for about 8 weeks now, and it is working!  I have learned how to talk again without straining my vocal cords and losing my voice.  The best part is that I can sing again :)

Winning the Bureaucratic Battle

My husband's employer's insurance company decided to present my husband's employer an offer they couldn't refuse.  They, the insurance company, said if you can get all of the cover people to use "X Company" to get their regular maintenance medicine through the mail it will be cheap for you, my husband's employer.  Sounds great right?  Lower prices for medicine to all the employees :)

Well, that is fine and all for the medicine that doesn't prevent cancer!
