    Thumbs up Update on my wife 4-6-21

    She was able to see the new oncologist today (yesterday actually since I am writing this at 1 AM the next day) and he believes from the masses that the cancer has indeed returned. Being that we are on zero income, and wanting to save us both the pain and expense of yet another biopsy and emergency blood-work he has elected to instead return her to the medications that she was on before, and his office is working with Johnson & Johnson to get her the medication at no cost again as her previous oncologist was able to do. Blood-work has been ordered, but results will be through a lab that will cost MUCH less and return them in 1-2 weeks instead of a 2 hour turn around (he is also a hematologist and has an in-house blood lab, but the cost of it is above and beyond insane if you don't have insurance). She also has a scheduled CT scan for next week already (at more than a grand, but which is still far better than most of the other area doctors costs). I am just relieved that the process is started finally, and so far he isn't giving her the long face.

    Thank you all so much for the help, prayers, thoughts, words, and every kind of positivity. We both appreciate it very much, particularly since I tend to be a wreck when in situations where I can't do anything to help her. I will keep updates coming as we know them.

    God Bless!

    Father, I come to You as You are the Great Healer and I am praying for comfort and healing for Richard's wife. Please allow her to get all the tests and treatments she needs so that she can be returned to Richard, their family, and their friends. Father please give Richard the strength to see his wife through her ordeal. AMEN

    Y’all are both in my prayers.

    I know a little about what you’re going through as my wife is battling cancer too.

    I don't know if I posted this update here yet or not. I haven't slept, so pardon me if I have.

    The oncologist called and after looking at blood results (he apparently paid to have them hotfooted on his own dime) he now believes the cancer has taken "an aggressive turn". Instead of a grand for a test forty five minutes away next week, it is now $3500+ for a test three hours away. Medicaid/care/whatever has denied her any assistance (just a reduction in test costs would have been a major help) because we still have not won the ongoing battles with SS Disability. Thank the good Lord that folks helped via gofundme, we have just enough left after the appointments to cover the first test, which should get her back on the assistance program to get the meds at no cost.

    The long and short is we actually don't know a thing at this point. Nothing. Waiting isn't an option, and I don't know what to even say or do anymore.

    I just don't know. First test is a major step. I hope the results are better than expected.

    God Bless.

    Richard

    One step, one day at a time. God's plan will unfold and His will be done. May God bring His blessings to you both.
