God has been answering my prayers right and left lately. Let me see if I can give you the short version of this all. Back in September I had a set of CT scans. The results of the scans showed that this one “thing” they have been watching in my pelvic area had increased in size slightly. So they (my oncologist’s office) requested authorization for a PET scan to determine if it is a tumor or what. My insurance has been fighting us to not allow it to happen. About a week and a half ago I had another set of CT scans. These showed further increase in size of this “thing.” In the meantime there has been a lot of action in attempting to get my insurance to approve the PET scan.
When I went in to the oncologist last Thursday for a reading on the latest scans (CT) it was decided to send me to a specialist at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center. My oncologist’s office started working on that immediately. At that time it was decided I would have blood work done tomorrow and then a return trip to the oncologist this Thursday.
As God would have it I got a call from my oncologist’s office this morning. Guess what? The insurance has relented and decided to let me have the PET scan. I think they got worried about how much it would cost to send me to UCLA to do this all over again. So the bloodwork is tomorrow, the PET scan is Wednesday and I have the appointment with the oncologist on Thursday. Ain’t God grand?
In Christ,
George
