    Thanks
    Thanks, everyone! I feel relief today, even though we got nowhere w/ the insurance company as of yet. But I feel relieved to be starting up treatment anyhow tomorrow & very relieved to find out that my CEA actually dropped a little- I do think it was because I put myself on the Xeloda the week and a half ago.

    Well, I've got lots to get done today- need to go to walmart and buy all the things I ended up not getting on Saturday when I fainted there- lol! Don't worry- I will check the blood pressure before leaving the house :) Feeling good today...

    Wishing all of you a blessed day-
    Lisa

    still letting you in?
    They still letting you in WalMart? LOL

    Ha, ha!
    Brooks,

    I'm actually too embarrassed to go back to that particular Walmart yet. :)
    Just in case I have any problems again (which I certainly don't plan on, but no one ever does), I'm going the opposite direction to the WalMart in Oceanside. My mom and sister in law live over that way and it's also nearer to where my "in-network" hospital is- lol.

    so glad to hear that you're starting the treatment that your doctor is recommending and the one you've been looking for. sorry the insurance company is not paying for it but hopefully they'll come through so it won't be such a burden for you and your family.
    Holding you in the Light,

    Good
    Lisa,

    I'm so glad you're starting the treatment, but I sure do hope something can be done about you having to do it out of pocket. I'll be praying for a good turn of events on that.

    *hugs*

    Catching up
    I'm just trying to catch up with everyone - and I'm so happy to see that you do have a new plan of attack and have been able to start it. I hope this works well and quickly, so you can see progress after your 2 months of treatment.
