Here's the update if you can believe it. I got a call later on Tuesday and was told that I needed a cardiac clearance. Now keep in mind that this is last minute. Got a call on Wednesday morning to see if I can be at the heart center in 1 hour. I live an hour and half away and its downtown Atlanta. There was no way to make it there and they said ok and that I could come in Thursday at noon. I show up and was told that I needed a stress test and that they didn't have any openings or that they hadn't cleared the test for insurance purposes. Either way I didn't get the test. Soooo, they canceled my surgery. I pleaded with them that this cancer is spreading. Right now, I don't know what to expect next. This is the second time that they canceled this surgery. The first being due to my thyroid. I'm beginning to think they just want me to die. They are a reputable hospital but right now I am confused of their intentions. Feeling Betrayed.
