Today is Wednesday, July 9th. Dad is schedule to start his clinical trial on Monday, July 14th. However, the insurance company is dragging their feet and wont give us a yes or no answer if they are going to cover it or not.
One thing we did get approved that we are super happy about, the insurance company authorized dad to have a PETScan done tomorrow, July 10th. You see, the insurance company has denied dad from getting PETScans for about year to year and half now. They would only authorize CT scans with contrast. They claim the CT scans with contrast is just as good.
The thing about is, the PETScan shows the whole body where as the CT Scan is isolated in 1 spot. So, if the cancer has spread, you wouldn’t know about it unless you did a CT scan of the whole body. I guaranteed you, they have not done that either.
