    not happening
    I heard from John today and they have insurance conflict so the pet scan was delayed, no date scheduled yet.

    The extended waiting game continues. :-(

    Thanks for the info
    What a pain for John. At least he is doing well and hopefully things will be fine when he does have the PET.

    Like John mentioned....

    I think the mess came because my Chemo MD sent in a request for the PET to be scheduled in August. A few weeks ago, my ENT scheduled me for July 6th....

    So between two different MD's scheduling the same expensive test and on close but different dates. I think it confused the insurance company and they had it pending.

    So when my ENT gets back from vacation on the 12th, I'm going to see if he'll reschedule his.... I don't think I'll have a problem and will keep you posted.

    I did have the opportunity to have a CT, but elected to wait in hopes of getting the PET instead.

    Thanks for all of your thoughts, prayers and well wishes...

    SCANS
    Have you ever had a PET/CT combo scan? That's what my doc had me go thru after a couple of years.

    Funny you should mention that....here's my catch from Saturday July 2nd.....

    Bucket of Flounder

    Flounder Pounder

    The flounder hole has been especially productive this summer...well actually it's about a five mile strip between two parallel bridges in Upper Tampa Bay.

    These ranged between 13" - 17".....

    Tell the truth John. You rescheduled because the fish were biting. It's ok to blame it on your docs though.

    All Dressed Up . . .
    What a bother. My insurance company declined my November PET. AT FIRST. They OK'd a CT only. for me, when the CT came back "dirty", THEN they OK'd the PET. For my checks, my doc likes to do a CT AND PET. But I have to wait much longer for a PET to be OK'd than a CT. Ah well - we'll just have to wait a while for the good news.

    How can you tell a fisherman is lying?
    His lips are moving. Or maybe his fingers are typing.

    Always did want an older brother to wrestle with. Bring it on brother.

    Keep catchin em,

    Well, I hate to make you jealous
    BUT, down here in Mexico in the Sea of Cortez the Dorado (aka MahiMahi) are everywhere. Not too big though but very easy to come in with 20-30 fish in the 10-15 pound class. A real hoot.........and fantastic canned, smoked, grilled, fried, you name it.

    OK..........gotta go................catch some more. JK
