Then John called my surgeon and was reassured that there is not such a rush really.Then Alice just called from wings to say that I am approved. With them and medicaire.
So we should have no worries financially throughout this illness, and it's retroactive so will cover expenses already incurred. Being covered by these programs is very important. I still get to have the same oncologist (Dr Sharron Wilks) and surgeon (Dr Holliman).
The next step will be scheduling my bilateral mastectomy. They will stage and identify the cancer more specifically at that time and see if chemo or radiation is needed.
Other than occasionally falling apart into a blubbering mass of Jimmie Jello, I have been working on organizing my room so it feels like a good place for healing. I put a birdfeeder outside the window and hung prayer flags in the trees. I think I'm going to cover the ceiling with LED Christmas lights draped with sheer fabric.

It's good to hear that the doc says there's no rush. But I can understand just wanting to get it over with. When my boss was going through chemo before having her tumors surgically removed she said it was like when you have a big bug on you - you just want someone to get it off, not spray something on it to see what happens!
ReplyDeleteNow there's four birdfeeders. The prayer flags dance in the wind and remind me that I am not alone.
