Had a CAT scan today. Will get results at next appointment with Oncologist on Wednesday of next week. Hoping for the best - prepared for the worst.
They wanted me to pay a copayment of $225. I asked if I could be billed and they said no. I paid the money then after the scan was complete I went to the Financial Services department and spoke to Jennifer who said I do not have to pay the whole amount as I have been approved for assistance and only owe 10 percent. So they reimbursed me. This assistance is good until February of 2018. After that I will have to pay the copayment every time I get a scan.

The left side of my throat is still sore and burns when swallowing any liquid. I also feel something is there at the same place that the cancer was. It is a new sensation and it scares me. I hope it is only scar tissue. I continue to take the antibiotics and have discontinued the steroid as it hurts my stomach.
I forced myself to try to eat something today. Stopped at a fast food place and got a vanilla shake and some fries. The fries did not smell bad so I figured I'd try some. No luck. Had to spit out. I did lick the salt off of some of them and it tasted so good. I drank half of the shake before it started to taste really bad. At least I tried. Still not ready.
