Luckily I have insurance, but I'm not sure how much it will cover.

My blood level and the absence of other symptoms (other than mild anemia) put me at stage one, so the drug therapy is the logical option at this point.

I have a skeletal scan scheduled for later this week to make sure the bones are clean, then we can move on to treatment.

Hopefully we'll be able to cover it without blowing through our savings.
