I'm glad you made something happen. You would think with cancer they would treat each patient stat, with or without coverage.
It is a shame someone who has coverage has to "make noise" to get treatment. And the six (6) week wait bewilders me.
I did not want to comment the other day, but Darvocet is like "baby aspirin" to a cancer patient. If the Ultram is not taking away his pain, (I say it will not) ask for something stronger. I had to holler 3 times before I received something that would ease the pain.
The PET scan is another befuddling gray area...
