Day 14
Today was uneventful except for a couple informational tid bits. Met with a genetics counselor who is pretty darn sure Becca should have no worries hereditary wise when it comes to cancer er, sorry...CARCINOMA. Becca also had an ultrasound and final biopsy on a couple lymph nodes that looked a little sketchy. We should know those results by Friday and then meet with the Dr. on Tuesday to get things going. Probably going to have the surgery 1st week in February because the genetics testing results will be back before then and will indicate if a Bi-Lateral mastectomy is a better way to go.
Oh yeah that genetics testing? 2800.00! That's two thousand eight hundred dollars!! Good news is that's half way to our deductible. Bad news is that well...we can't pay that. I will be trying to set up payment plans and like with everyone and their mother. We met with a financial social worker who gave us a lot of information and numbers to call and papers to fill out. It all looks very stressful and tiring but we'll get through it and cross our fingers. The social worker stopped short of calling the insurance Becca has as shit. I said laughable. She said that's one word for it. Nice lady. I like her.
At this time we will be waiting on results from today. I don't expect to post again till then. Thanks for reading and if you need me I'll be over by Walmart, in the median, looking for spare change.
