Radiation

Tuesday May 31

Today we had an appointment with Dr. Clark a radiation oncologist.  Since we can not move forward with Chemo for right now we thought we would address is spot on the pelvic bone and the spot on his spine.  After speaking with Dr. Clark about what our plans where with MD Anderson he thought we were heading in the right direction also.  So in the mean time we would be treating Cody with radiation on these two spots. 

Later that day after speaking with our rep from MD Anderson he informed us that we had been accepted and denied in the same day.  They accepted us which they don't do unless they feel like there is something they can do for you.  and our insurance denied us from going.  He began to tell us that we could still come, but our insurance would not cover it.  We asked what the cost would be just for us to have a consult with the Dr.  Never mind that we will fight our insurance and appeal with them.  What a frustration we were feeling.  How somebody else gets to dictate what you get to do with your life.
