Thanks Ann and Tricia for your encouraging words. I drive almost 300 miles for my oncologist appointments (in AZ), so she suggested that I call my primary care doctor and get in to see her asap, so she can give orders to write a script for a bone scan here in NM. My oncologist notes from my July appointment say that I have no symptoms, no complaints, and all blood work was normal. So, insurance would not approve a bone scan until symptoms were noted during an office visit. So, first thing Monday, I will call for an appointment with my primary care physician. Hopefully, by Friday, I'll have a bone scan. If something is found, I'll be back for treatment in AZ. and so it goes......
