Seattle, Cancer Update

[squeakywheel]

Leon and I are flying to Seattle this weekend to meet up with his parents, Marty and Ellen. Ellen starts her cancer treatment on Friday, though, so we don't know if she'll be up for the drive from Montana. I suspect the trip will go according to plan, but Leon's parents are making some accomodations for us in case they don't show

Oh, geezz! Not only is cancer painful, it's expensive!!! I'm so sorry :(

I really want more details on their insurance information because I want to understand how this isn't covered. It's probably as simple as that hospital not being in their HMO, but that? Sucks. I hope my insurance is never that bad. :(

You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, Michelle. You're a good friend.

You're welcome, anytime.

And let me just say that this was an absolutely beautifully-written comment on your part. Well done.;-)

Thanks. I really like your sentence structure here. :)

What a terrible situation to be in for everyone. I wish you all a best in my fair city. Try and do something fun while you're up here.

Thanks. Maybe there's a Kenny Chesney concert up there or something. :)

Random -- your in-laws are from Montana? I'm from Montana!

I'm sorry you're all going through this -- it sounds like rough stuff.

They're originally from Pennsylvania but have been living in Tennessee for the past decade. Leon's dad is doing a sabbatical in Montana, since he's a CS professor.

What part of Montana are you from? They're in Missoula.

Bozeman -- not too far away. I drive through Missoula on my way home and my parents graduated from UofM. It's gorgeous...

Sorry to hear. Hope that the treatment is successful!

Thanks. I'm sure she would appreciate your kind thoughts. :)
