Update for 7-25-18


My frustration level this last week has been through the roof!  I have been fighting for my insurance for the co-payment of my PET scan when I found out after it was not even approved, it of coarse was denied again!  My insurance say it’s not medically necessary, so I had to pay CASH which is ridiculous.  Its like they do not even look at my diagnosis,  I am so tired of them making me fight and then charging me for something they should cover.  I wonder why I pay for insurance!

I am glad I paid for the PET, results were encouraging.  I got to admit I still worry.  PET scan showed nothing in the lungs, chest or Heart.  There is still 2 larger lymph nodes in my neck (not to big).  Surgeon does not want to go in quite yet, he wants to watch to see if they grow, He will watch me closely since it is such an aggressive type of “C”.  Surgeon says if he goes into get them now he may not be able to find them and it would make more scar tissue so if he needed to go again in the future it would just make it harder to get to infection each time he operated.  The radioactive iodine pill is kind of the same story,  if they do the pill again so soon my body may not absorb it, If it does it lowers the change it wont in the future.  Stupid cells are too smart!  God is SMARTER!! Surgeon ordered a Ultrasound and blood work for September.

Keep praying that my insurance will not fight me for the Ultrasound and future tests  I am praying that the larger lymph’s are shrinking, because if I remember right my CT scan showed a lot more.  God can shrink them so I stand in belief of that.  Thank you so much for your prayers!
