Setting Up the Chemo Treatments in Las Vegas


Bridal Veil Falls Near Provo on Thursday
.


Judy in Jackson had asked me to call her on Friday. She had been setting up an appointment for me at the Nevada Cancer Institute, and couldn't get me an appointment there so next tried the Nevada Cancer Center. Then told me to call them and with Debbie and I both working on it, we did. But, we had run into a snag. The first doctor appointment I could get there with the doctor Judy wanted was June 31, then with another Dr. June 17. I would be on my way home by then . Judy said I could miss one treatment if this isn't going to work out, but not two. I've been telling them there for 3 months I wanted to travel - fill in the blanks.

So Friday I called Sundi at NV Cancer and she said all she had any thing to do with was making the appointment with the Dr. She said I could see a Dr. Wu Wednesday June 4 at 11 a.m. at the Tenaya location (very near Debbie's house). There is no hint of what date after seeing the Dr. that I might have the treatment, but she did say it would not be the same day. He will schedule me for the treatment after the consultation. Also you have to see him first before they will take your insurance. Then the Dr. has to write the orders for the cancer drugs. I just figured if Jackson had all the info and faxed it to them that really should be good enough. But it probably has most to do with them wanting to be bothered with you for the hassle of medicare and insurance etc.

So if things don't go pretty well getting an early date, I might have to go back home earlier than I planned. I'm getting tired of nothing ever working right, or always getting so confused. If I had known it might not work out, I probably would have stayed home to have the scheduled treatments there.
