Today I got my Zometa Infusion! YAY! It was done at North Cypress Medical Center Ambulatory Infusion Therapy Center.
And I Have to say, it was Such a Professional and Uplifting experience!
I was treated with Such Kindness, even though I have no insurance, the staff was Very Generous and Attentive! With my financial situation, I secretly feel like a “beggar” of sorts, but that feeling was minimal today, and was in No Way caused by the Staff of the Infusion center… they were Friendly, Kind and I felt they were Truly Concerned and Cared about me and what I am going through. They took time to sit and talk with me, and To Listen.
The Ladies who took care of me were Patti, Teila, Becky and Sharon. Theye were Awesome! Of course, I’m still dealing with “emotional residue” from the chemo treatments, so whenever a needle comes close to my port, I kinda “fall apart”… not too bad, but I do cry and get emotional. But these Ladies were kind and took it all in stride.
It’s a Tough situation being in, having no insurance, having to ask for assistance… and medical expenses are Very high. But Today I Got A Break.
The TOTAL of my charges – receiving the Zometa, compounding the Zometa for infusion, infusion procedure utilizing my port AND the necessary bloodwork to access my levels and tumor markers was $315.00.
O.M.G. $315.00!! I Can Actually “Afford” That!!!
Which means that I Can Afford To Continue Treatment!!!
Which Means I Can Afford the Fight To Live!!!!
And they even provided a nice lunch!!
THANK YOU North Cypress Medical Center Ambulatory Infusion Therapy Center!!
I can take a breath and relax… until the next hit.
Thats awesome!
