feeling frustrated about my treatment with this cancer.
Ok i just need to vent a little! I am feeling really frustrated with my treatment! the Dr. ordered a ultrasound of my neck, called lymph node mapping, or survey, to see where everything is and what is involved. Then i have to have another Biopsy. I called on these tests weeks ago, and finally they re stated the kind of biopsy from a Jugular node biopsy to a cervical node biopsy! It is the same spot just one has a scarier name but in order for the medical imaging place to do it , they changed the name because they don;t do Jugular node biopsies! It is a technicality but it is delaying these tests. so i am pretty peeved! So finally they re-name the test, and I called yesterday, and they tell me i have to have the lymph node survey/mapping first! So the earliest they can get me in is next Monday then they will go from there to do the F-ing biopsy! UGH! i am so peeved! and why the hell didn't they do it two weeks ago when i called originally, I had the order, I requested the test! They SUCK! and why didn't the DR. Know when he ordered the test what it was called and where to order it? they first wanted it done at Scottsdale Shea. Now it is Scottsdale medical imaging! and they want me to get the films from the last two ultrasounds and maybe even the biopsy!
And then My insurance wants me to mail order my prescriptions, because they are maintenance drugs, my thyroid pills. But the pills I take are very sensitive to heat, and it decreases the effectiveness! So what the hell am I supposed to do? I need to call and fight the insurance on that too! I hate this! Last month I payed cash for my pills, because they wouldn't cover them! I can't afford that once we start paying a house payment, Next month! This sucks!

That is so lame. Who cares what it is called, it is not like they didn't know what you were talking about. My mom has to do the same thing with her pills and she has had nothing but problems. Sorry about that.

It isn't all that bad to order through the mail. I have to for my meds. The hardest part is setting it up the first time. That is where the most frustration lies. Also you can have your meds sent so that they are sent in a cooler so that they are kept cool to help last better/longer.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, and this is all frustrating. But I know you are going to rise above it -- you ALWAYS do. That is why so many are impressed and honored to know you. You show all of us how we too can rise above our own trials, however big or small they may be.
Always, remember that you are a chosen spirit not only for yourself, but a chosen spirit to all those you come in contact with. You help others in ways you will never know by your strength, courage, committment to share joy, fun. THanks for sharing yourself with me and everyone else.
Real quick -- All this is what makes you 'Truly Delightful in Every Way!!'
I am with you...Down with insurance money suckers!
