I was supposed to have my first Ippi treatment today. I reported to the James Cancer Center early and found out that Medicare still had not approved my treatment. I was really furious that no one called me to cancel yesterday or this morning. They were very appologetic and rescheduled foor next Thursday. I was so geared up for today's treatment. I felt so bad that my daughter dropped me off and then had to come back to get me. Another week of waiting while this monster grows inside of me.

You need to ask the doctor, or whoever does his paperwork, to follow up with medicare. Unless they are pushed they will be forever.

Thanks for the reply.. I was assured that they are on Medicare's case and that this is typical of Medicare that the doctor has to keep submitting need for this treatment to Medicare and that they will eventually approve..eventually..meanwhile I wait.. I pray that next week will be a go..sigh!
