  1. I went to ER in Aug 09 with rectal bleeding. I had radiation for prostate cancer in 08. Nobody told me about the possibility of rectal bleeding after radiation. I was on Plavix for a heart attack I had while going through the radiation. I freaked out. I thought I was going to bleed to death. I went to the nearest ER. I have insurance because I'm still dragging my tired old butt to work because I need the insurance. My wife has MS. I tried to get the VA to pay the bills once they determined it was radiation proctitis. My ins. paid then they found out I filed with the VA. They said they would not pay. The VA has refused to pay because I had insurance. The reason I filed with the VA was, even if my ins. paid I was still going to be billed about $2000.00. It cost me $8000.00 to be in the hospital less than 24 hours. Sorry I got long winded... I sure could use some help with my claims I have been fighting the VA for the last 10 years on my own...

  2. Have you thought about contacting your State Senator and asking for help? In SC sometimes they get involved and get things done fast.... Just a thought. I'm WildBill's wife... and I have been through this process. I worked as a paralegal and helped many people get their SSDI. Sadly, I also was diagnosed with MS and went through the process myself. At the time I was an Adm. Judge and had LTD insurance. They provided an attorney to represent me. I was denied twice. They sent me the same rejection letter both times, just changed the date, had the same typos. Long story short, I appeared before the ALJ, did not play any games, people said wear old clothes, no make up, have somone else drive you.

    I don't know if you know much about MS, but fatigue, confusion and memory loss are some of the symptoms. I went to the hearing office on a regular basis as part of my job, on that day I went to the workman's compensation hearing office and almost missed my hearing. I guess that made an impression on the Judge! Good luck everybody. I was lucky, I didn't have to worry... I was geting paid anyway.

  3. PSA 26.2??? Man that WAS BAD. I'm WildBill's wife and if y'all don't mind I thought I would put my 2 cents in. Bill's cancer was dx in 2000 went to Johns Hopkins for a radical, cancer returned in 2008, went through radiation, had a heart attack during the time he was having treatments. He filed a claim in 2001, the VA gave him 20% SC. We have gone to the VA and asked for help for radiation. He has never seen a Urologist at the VA or an Onocolgist or a Cardiologist. We have paid for everything with private insurance. Bill was 100% six months after his completing his radiation in 2008. After his first PSA was normal they cut him to 60%.
