Hello @reibur1951
I read about the results of the appointment in the Lung Cancer discussion. I hope that all goes well with getting approval from the insurance company and that there is not too much of a delay. This has been a long process for both of you with a lot of interruptions along the way.

Keeping you in my thoughts (and prayers). Will you keep posting and keep updating on his progress and of course your progress as well?

The approval was instantly which was amazing yesterday was his infusion day for the chemo/prembo - like said they discontinued chemo but want to keep the pembro because what it has done for the main tumor and chest lymph nodes only question will be how long will the insurance company go along with that... the prembo was being paid for by the clinical study do have no idea of what the cost is for that but i know the infusion part ran 2 thousand plus depending upon time spent in the infusion lab which was up to 4 hours - Yes will keep posting and if have to stay in Indy will have my laptop and my smartphone I finally got in Dec. - i know it possibly helps others and its a way for me to vent since his sisters do not really give a dam - I made it a point when she called to offer to take some junk off to scrape yard today for me (I had called earlier and talk to the brother-in-law) that Paul came first before anything she snapped back : have not said anything have I" no she has not - she has not even bothered calling to see how I am doing - how he is - or cared if we were alive or dead during that "polar vortex" to me that speaks volumes maybe should not. I said about junk i can do it it it is sorted and loaded onto truck - having a guy hopefully come out this afternoon and load it down for me... I need to learn what to sort our for the best price right now its all piled together :-(.... This was the plans for the next couple of weeks so i could get started at least to finish the furnace/laundry room to salvage it as there is no question about it even if can leave here - all the well/plumbing and main electric which also runs the garage is located and I want to be somewhat more ahead of the game if have to stay here another winter but that is not my game plan I do not think can hack another winter like this past one - it got down to 28 in here and no higher than 60 and when the wind blows this instantly becomes a "deep freezer" no matter the season - a 1975 mobile home that has definitely seen its day... its a "dead horse" putting money ito it is fruitless... the floors need replaced as the are that glued sawdust"; the roof has leaked and all the ceilings will have to be stripped out... the pull out in the living room i done years ago and still remains to be finished... done the bathroom in 2017 it still has to be done besides other issues... I was out and walked in back and the water stands which is not good the state highway cemented the main drain tile shut years ago for some unknown reason.... I see they have markers around it maybe they are deciding to open it up or maybe just deciding to re-pave "pot-hole heaven" State Rd 17... I just can see spending large amounts of money on it and still end up with a 1975 mobile home frame and no space... guess my thinking is wrong...
