However, I think everyone here can agree (if you can pay for your portion of an adr surgery, I would hope it wouldn't leave you so broke that you wouldn't have a few hundred bucks to invest in yourself?) that when it comes to Lyme Disease, armed with the information we now have, it is worth it!!

The second company has an outstanding philosophy, and shows great integrity I feel:
At PathoGenius®, we believe that no one should go without the testing they need. Therefore, PathoGenius® provides it’s testing at a discounted rate to people who do not have insurance coverage and who, without PathoGenius® assistance, cannot afford the testing they need.

Contact us at any time to discuss what discounts may be available to you.


I hope you are feeling well, and are still "excited" for your surgery. I know when mine came closer (the surgery that was scheduled for the day after the stem cell injections in April that conveniently, for the Dr because he had never even asked for insurance approval, never happened) I started to get nervous. I was, and still will be, going through all of it by myself Most everyone has somebody else, and I am sure you do.



(I never thought that I would end up anywhere close to where I currently am: socioeconomically, physically-health, geographically, familiarly, academically/industrially. I don't think anyone could have convinced me of this 5 years ago, but 3 years ago quite possibly. Boy, I sure wish someone would have tried...Smiles. It'll all work out ok. Smiles.)


We are not talking about me, we are talking about you and the big game changer coming up soon.

I hope that you can get the Lyme test done, and hopefully before surgery.



Sincerely,
Renee
