That is ...Yes, exactly, it is all about cost only! That is crazy! I agree we need to worry about our federal funds and money is out of control, but this is NOT the way to help!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106155913054285175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23828843.post-3949079348693262652009-02-11T21:01:00.000-06:002009-02-11T21:01:00.000-06:00I have heard that it also doesn't matter about the...I have heard that it also doesn't matter about the PAIN involved in the treatment...all that matters is the long-term viability. For instance, my son's brother has cancer. With proton therapy, he may be able to walk again. With the regular radiation, the nerves in his spine will surely be destroyed. Either way, the projection of survival is the same. Because regular radiation is MUCH cheaper and the survival projection is the same, this new plan would NOT cover proton therapy. So my son's brother would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. This is awful. This affects very real people...OUR KIDS.
