We have been in contact with Sloan Kettering. Unfortunately, due to stupid insurance regulations, Horizon Blue Cross of NJ isn't accepted at the NJ facility, only the hospital in New York. We have been assigned a doctor and are in the system awaiting contact for our initial consultation for treatment... Its been 2 days, so I will be calling later today to force an appointment...
On a side note, yesterday I contacted Hunterdon Medical Cancer center. So far this is where we have had everything taken care of. They are affiliated with FOX CHASE. (Sloan is ranked number 2 in the country, number 1 in the east... Fox Chase is number 11 in the country and number 5 in the east....) I was able to get a consultation with an oncologist scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday.. This will give us an idea of the course of treatment they suggest. We already know there wont be more surgeries, just chemo and radiation...
yes, we will still get a consultation with Sloan.... if I can ever get him an appointment...
thank you all for your help and well wishes so far, his spirits have been down of late...
I know everyone wants to offer support and just doesn't know how.. I did order 100 Live strong bracelets, in the color gray. They say "Scott 1" on them, as you know this is one of his team colors, and always his shirt number... they should be in tomorrow and I will get them out to you as soon as possible. I know this doesn't equal to "helping" but since there isn't anything anyone can do yet, at least we can show a unified support for him.
thanks again,
Wendy
