lung biopsy results from hospital

Hi All,
I got my lung biopsy results from the hospital back yesterday (right as I was walking out the door to go get chemo). No fungus in the lungs! They did, however, find a type of a staph infection in the biopsy, so I have been given antibiotics for that. They said it's possible that it was infected from the nose by the tube going down my nose, throat, then into the lungs as most everyone has staph in their nose at all times without it harming them (I didn't know that). They didn't know for sure, so thought a two week antibiotic course was in order.

I was supposed to have an appt today (Wed) with a doctor from the pain clinic. I was halfway to San Diego when I got a call on my cell phone from them informing me they just discovered that my insurance didn't approve my appt with them. Apparently, my insurance sent a letter to them that they thought was an approval, but it wasn't. It was a letter to them informing them to tell me that it was not approved, but they suggested to me that I might want to seek an appointment with another particular doctor (who is closer to my home), but that I would need to pay for it myself. Great... I called that office and they said the dr. is only there on Thursdays and they did actually have an opening. They are going to do my appt with them "pro bono" (free on their volunteer basis). I am most grateful for that!
