Heart Echo and Supportive Oncology

I had appointments at Huntsman today. First was an echocardiogram of my heart. Basically an ultrasound of my heart that also measured the electrical current. My heart looks great and healthy enough to pump all of the poisonous chemotherapy through my body. Yay! I guess. 

Then I made my first trip up to The Bistro on the 6th floor for lunch. Nice hospital food and a nice view.

Then on to my appointment with supportive oncology, AKA the psychiatrist. They gave me a packet with all of the resources available to support me throughout the process. It's amazing how many free programs and classes they offer! I wish I lived close enough to take advantage of more of them.  And the psychiatrist helped me switch to an anxiety medication that won't interact with my cancer medication. So that's good. 

I stopped at the financial office to check on the pre-authorization for my PET scan. Still not there. The insurance said within a few days. The financial office lady said she's seen them take as long as 2 weeks to 2 months!! I guess PET scans have a lot of paperwork and it's a process. Still, these are for people with cancer that can't start treatment without this test! Come on insurance people! Move your booty a little faster!
