Health care advocate provides help
Middletown (WTNH) - Imagine battling cancer and at the same time fighting the insurance company about your course of treatment. It can happen to any one of us. And for one Middletown resident it did. But she found out that her lifeline was only a phone call away.
A hot, hearty soup on a cold winter day has cancer patient Sharon Hines happily cooking in the kitchen. Hines, a non-smoker, has lung cancer. But that has not been her only challenge.
"I was totally stressed out by this," Hines said.
She is stressed out because her insurance had twice denied an FDA approved therapy which her doctors had prescribed.
