While it took a lot of maneuvering last year to get the VA to support the route we needed to take for Chad's cancer, they've been good to us. Chad received the care he needed and generally speaking, we've had some good experiences.
But holy goodness, I am so unimpressed with them and this Tri-West program it makes my head spin and blood boil.
As you know, since Chad's colonoscopy came back clear in December, we've been trying to get him in for an endoscopy to make sure everything checks out in that direction. He was supposed to have had the scope in February but they messed up on the approval.
He finally heard from the doctor today and they have scheduled his appointment for March 10th. But oh, this isn't the endoscopy. This is another ridiculous consult because it will have been 30 days since the previous visit so we yet again have to go through this red tape! The actual endoscopy has already been approved this time and will take place on March 16th.
Still no word on the MRI.
I need a vacation.
Please forgive my rant. My frustration over this is through the roof. As always, your support and love is beyond appreciated.
This is the story of Chad's fight against Appendix Cancer. On January 7, 2015 Chad found out just how special he was when he was told that not only did he have Cancer but it was extremely rare and very aggressive. Chad has always taken life by storm - so why stop now? Some may have crumpled and fell but the soldier in him took over and he decided then and there he had an infinite number of reasons to kick Cancer's ass. The road will never be easy but he will fight - and he will win.
You have come too far to stop ranting now. You got this too!
