Most of us cancer patients know all too well how frustrating our American healthcare system is. At this point, when you don’t have enough answers, the best advice I can think of is “Be the squeaky wheel” (as in “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.”) Call each one of your leads every day. Call only once a day, but call EVERY day. Especially if they tell you they’ll call you—don’t count on it! Call every day, ask whether there are any cancellations that day, or any other concerns you’re working on. Good luck and keep us posted.
