Emma's Bone Marrow Transplant
Read below to see how Best Doctors Insurance fast-tracked Emma's diagnosis and helped her receive the best medical treatment.
PROBLEM
Emma, a mother of four-year-old twin girls, felt severe pain and discomfort in her pelvic area in the spring of 2016. At first, doctors thought she had an infection in her fallopian tubes, so they prescribed antibiotics. When her symptoms did not subside, Emma was told to go to the hospital for extensive testing because her doctors feared the worst. Felix, Emma’s husband, phoned Best Doctors Insurance immediately.
SOLUTION
Best Doctors quickly arranged for appropriate tests that fast-tracked her diagnosis. Multiple biopsies revealed two different types of lymphoma. The Best Doctors medical team promptly sent the results to specialists in Boston; their actions saved Emma’s life. Specialists recommended treatment at a specific hospital based on the characteristics of the cancer in Emma’s body. She underwent a bone marrow transplant for a form of lymphoma so serious that only 8% of patients have experienced it and survived. Emma’s treatment was emotionally and physically difficult; she was not able to see her family for five long months. Today, she is in remission, and happily raising her two daughters. She is eternally grateful that she acquired insurance from Best Doctors years ago, and credits the diligence, care and treatment she received with saving her life.
