Hi All,

My insurance has denied my MD Anderson doctors request for Proton Therapy and we are now in the process of appeals.
I am just over 6 weeks past my partial glossectomy and floor of mouth rebuild. We were supposed to start chemo and rads next week but Tricare is throwing a wrench in the works. Has anyone gone extra weeks after surgery for their rads and chemo.

This is causing me unnneeded extra stress!!
