Well, just a few updates for today.
Marion received her Medicaid number today, and she'll be able to use that for her treatments, testing, and primary care as well. It was quite a relief to get the news so quickly (four days is really quick when dealing with governmental benefits).
She was also scheduled for her first series of tests to determine the stage of the cancer. Her first test will be a PET scan on Monday at a Cooper Hospital facility in Voorhees. The following day, she needs to get her pre-op blood work done in Camden. This will include a CBC, urine sample, and chest x ray. Then, on the 18th, she'll have a couple procedures done at Cooper. The first is a cystoscopy. The second is a proctosigmoidoscopy, I think. I'm not too clear on the second test, but they'll be completed both on the 18th. I'll clarify with the doctors and update this.
Other than that, there's not too much to report. Marion is doing very well, and as I've said before, she continues to amaze me with how she's taking this. She's has a very positive mindset, and I honestly believe that is helpful to the cause.
Like I said, not much to report.
