I am scheduled for surgery Friday, hoping to move up to Wednesday.
Cancer is back, pretty widespread.
took a lot of calls, about 17 to 20, to find an ent to do biopsy. He looked and said cancer was obvious. He found me a head and neck oncologist surgeon. So I canceled surgery in Wisconsin and am having it here. My son’s family just arrived so he can take me for surgery and I will stay one or two nights in hospital. Much easier for him to fly to fort Myers area instead of Wisconsin dells. Not as long a drive to hospital either. Get to recuperate in warm weather. Need prayers that this time it doesn’t return.

Glitch. Insurance has not approved surgery and says they have until Friday to decide. May be canceled by hospital
Sounds unbelievable that the insurance would not approve Cancer Surgery. Did the Doctor's Office enter the proper codes? Call them and ask them to double check. This is Stress you do not need now.
