Sent to wrong docs....
« on: December 31, 2009, 01:33:50 pm »
ok so my ENT somehow sent me to two wrong doctors today...a wasted trip to the city...but I did manage to get an appt with another specialist dealing in radiation...I'm allso going to ask my GP and ENT to get me a referral to the neurosurgeon responsible (and who trained at Stanford) for bringing the cyberknife to Ottawa...Mind you the oncologist radiologist I spoke with today suggested LINAC if it grows and if its stabe to wait for ck...and I'm thinking ...noooooooooooo...i want ck...even if I have to travelf to Montreal (@ 3 hrs drive compared to a 5 hour drive to Toronto for gkj)...but I will deal with this when I get back from Mexico and before I take off for Florida for March...Maybe I'll look uup a doc in Jacksonville and as long as I can find a doc accepting CHAMPVA, I'm covereds.
