BUT, I started thinking about the "what-ifs" and decided to take a closer look at the coverage for chemo drugs, should we ever need them. The Advantage plan pays 80% of the cost of these drugs where the Gold plan pays 100%. I know that a 20% co-pay, if I stay with the Advantage plan could be a lot of $$$, as these drugs can be very expensive. For us, the peace of mind will outweigh the Medicare Part B premiums that we will start paying again, come January.

I also was a cancer survivor but now back in some heavy duty stuff. Question is do you know how many Pet Scans can are covered in a year?
My insurance (just thru luck) covers all but the hospital just told us how lucky we were since most only cover two or three a year. I'm doing stem cell right now and Pet Scans are taken quite offten.
Thanks and good luck at beating your cancer and hope you never see it again.
