I had all of my treatment at the Porter Cancer Center in Denver (I was also born in Porter's Hospital). I had the most awesome team of doctor's that communicated every appointment, treatment, meeting with each other and my PCP. Part of the team was a nurse navigator who helped me through the maze of paperwork, the appointments, answering questions as they came up and she filled out all of the paperwork for grants that I applied for. Another part of my "team" was a counselor and her services were provided for free by the cancer center. She also runs a support group that meets the last Tuesday of every month! I can't imagine anyone else ever taking care of me! And when I lost my insurance over a year ago, my surgeon still insists on seeing me every other month to at least examine me and scope my throat and neck to make sure that nothing is going on and he does it all for nothing! He also came to our walk on 7/9/11!! He's very excited that I will be on Medicare come January!! There are an awful lot of angels out there! Especially here!
