I am sooooo frustrated with Anderson.  We showed up yesterday for the lung assessment test, which RM passed w/flying colors. 

Then we met the surgeon who promptly informed us he had no intention of doing surgery due to RM's liver situation!  Seems like they could have just called and told him that - half a day wasted.

Today we see he is scheduled for tomorrow for ANOTHER nuclear cardiac stress test (he just had one in March)....so we called the surgeon's nurse back and she said to forget that but they wanted an EKG - which tonight I see is scheduled for 6/14.  Of course, he had an EKG last week....will the confusion ever end.....it is like a Chinese fire drill.

RM is calling the patient advocate in the AM and we WILL find out if they are EVER going to start treatment.  It has been FIFTY days since the first diagnosis.

I contacted another Cancer Center out of state who assured me that with all the tests he has already had they could have an evaluation done in 3 days and start treatment shortly thereafter.  The bad part is:  it is out of state, we know nothing about their success rate and they are not on my insurance plan which means we would need to pay 20%.

I WILL be talking with my 'benefits' person tomorrow regarding just exactly how much percentage wise my employer might be willing to 'chip in' since we can't seem to get anywhere with Anderson.

Then closing on our new property was delayed again, now it is set for this Friday.  I want to scream, throw something or go pound nails.
