Well in some ways I guess that today would count as one of those "stellar" days.
After trying many times to get ahold of WCB I finally got ahold of someone who seems willing and moreover in a position to help us. Bry put in a claim for hearing aids last Feb. Now according to the letter we received the turn around time for approval is 9-12 months. yikes, we are not asking them to pay for it out of their own pocket, just approve the darn thing. I talked to the case managers manager, a really nice young man, explained about Bry, the cancer and his needing to hear what the doctor is saying. He immediately phone someone who put Bry on the priority list and he told me if I have not heard back from them in 2 weeks to call him on his private line. Score one for the home team. Next on my agenda was the onocologist, Bry's appointment was on the 17.Once again after numerous calls etc I reached a real person. I asked it they had any cancellations could the give one to Bry. I was assured that they never had cancellations but she would make a note for me. Low and behold, while in WalMart my phone rang. Could we be up there by 4:15,they had a cancellation. (Bry and I joked that the only reason for this coming up was that the person had died, there fore could 't keep the appointment...I know, we are sick!!!)Anyhow, nice enough doctor and he ordered more tests. A complete CT scan, and a bone density scan. He wants to see if the cancer has spread. If it is only (yeah right ,,ONLY as if that isn't enough)in the lung they Bry will start chemo and radiation. Boy that sound like fun but it it kills this elephant then I say"Bring it on" This is not just Brys battle, he may be the one with the cancer but this is our whole families battle. Rally the troops and bring it on.....we WILL WIN!!!!!!
