UGH....Insurance Companies

It is ironic that I was just telling someone yesterday that as far as insurance companies go, mine is pretty good. When I found out I was pregnant, they enrolled me in a program where an RN calls me every month to see how I am doing and send me free books about being pregnant and raising children. When I had my surgery and there was a possibility that our baby could have been premature, they had a NICU Nurse walk me through any potential complications that could have occurred (thank God that the baby is still baking).

I say it is ironice because now the insurance company is questioning my DOCTOR on my cancer diagnosis. Is that weird?? Ummmm...yes it is! So, while I am emotionally and mentally preparing for my first chemotherapy treatment, my oncologist is battling with my insurance company.

I was supposed to start my first treatment today. I was ready. I was prepared. I was strong. But, they had to move my first appointment to tomorrow. I will be ready and I will be prepared and I will be strong. But at the same time, I am irritated that I have to wait until tomorrow. I am sort of in that mind set of "Let's get this started!"

In the grand scheme of things, it really isn't THAT big of a deal but, Kevin and I are the type of people who need to take one thing at a time. It is incredibly overwhelming to look at our situation and try to deal with everything all at once (chemo treatments, baby coming, major surgury, more chemo treatments) so we take it one day at a time. This is just one more day of waiting and one more day of stress.
