I agree, so much education is needed. I hope to one day raise funds for research, but right now I see education...of patients, physicians and insurance companies as priority.<br /><br />I ALWAYS with you the best! <br /><br />CarolynCarolyn Langlie-Lesnik RN BSN MSNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809251183587926473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377218771506051065.post-83254694855660342732010-04-12T21:11:45.474-05:002010-04-12T21:11:45.474-05:00Congratulations on the honor!

And I get to view them on my doctor's laptop. I don't know if Marshfield Clinic is that advanced or what. However, my insurance company has denied covering Avastin, because they say no studies prove it is effective against appendix cancer. Because they can't find the word "appendix" in any of the studies. And don't seem to realize that appendix cancer falls into the colorectal cancer category.
