I thought I was going to get an MRI soon after getting back from England and that I was then going on to get proton beam therapy if the MRI confirmed that it was feasible. In fact, I was tentatively scheduled to start treatment today.
It didn't turn out that way.
I got a call from the radiology practice saying that they'd scheduled me for the wrong MRI machine and that the next available appointment on the correct machine isn't until next Monday. Meanwhile, my insurance company baulked at paying for proton beam therapy. Hopefully the treatment will be approved on appeal, but the denial means everything is up in the air for now.
It's been over two months since the CT scan that alerted us to my cancer's resurgence, so I'm getting impatient to get it treated. Hopefully I'll have better news soon.
In other news, we've just had power restored after an outage of over 24 hours. Luckily the storms that took out the power also took out the heat wave we'd been having. Still, we slept downstairs last night to stay cool in the absence of fans or air conditioning. I'm very happy to have power again!
