An amazing thing happened today - I was back in London for my Zometa treatment today. On the way to London, I called the insurance company to see whether they had made a decision regarding covering the genetic testing. I have been chasing them for 3 weeks now and haven't had a response as they have been going back an forth with the consultant.

When I called this morning they amazingly said that they would cover the test. The most amazing thing is that our company is switching health insurance providers on April 1st - only 4 days time! I phoned the gentic consultant's PA immediately and she was just about to call me with the good news but she said it would be very difficult to get an appointment with the consultant. Then I mentioned I was on the way to the hospital and somehow she managed to fit me in straight this afternoon! I had the test this afternoon...after about 5 attempts to get blood from me! and will get the results in 3 weeks.

We were so amazed as it all happened so quickly, especially as the insurance is only valid for 4 more days! It was a real answer to prayer :)
