Yesterday I went back to work after two weeks off (waking up was hard, otherwise it was great to get back to it!) and I had an uneventful Herceptin drip yesterday and a quick check-in with the oncologist. It is all getting kinda routine (in a good way). Herceptin isn't tough at all, which is a great thing since I'm gonna be on it for a LONG time.
My assignment for this afternoon was to start to unravel the insurance snafus. Holy crap is that annoying! When I "drop in" for my neulasta shot (its the $3000 thing that jump starts my bone marrow and keeps my white blood cell counts up) they've been logging me in under one of the other doctors in the practice. This doctor is only registered with our insurance at his other two offices. As a result the insurance is treating him as an "out of network" doctor and we're getting billed for 20% of the bill. What the heck? Why does it matter which address the doctor bills from!?!? Urgh. So stupid! I called the doctor's office to try to figure this out and they told me not to worry about it, they'd take care of it. Next time I'm there, I'll make sure to follow up!
I'm feeling really good, I could almost forget that I have this crap (except my hair is falling out). I'm a little worried about neuropathy since my fingertips have been sensitive lately, so I'm taking a couple supplements recommended by my nutritionist and okayed by my oncologist.
