That’s hard when cost becomes the driver. Yes, I’m lucky I’ve always had great insurance plans. I do pay a few thousand a year in premiums for more control and freedom to choose any doctor but all my treatments are covered 100%.

He is only ablating the tumors that are causing an issue or might metastasize due to size or unusual behavior. These next two nodules are blocking airways and causing impacted mucus, just behaving suspiciously. He said we need to clean up that area LRL as it’s concerning. I will be asking more specifics. I like details. But since the tumors are so slow growing it’s not a rush, but soon. Ablation is not a pleasant procedure and I have to be awake to hold my breath repeatedly in command. Last time I had a partially collapsed lung afterwards and two months of physical therapy to fix my upper back, neck and shoulder (aggravated pre-existing issues) so it really would have cancelled out all my summer activities and nature walks in lovely weather. I’m glad he’s letting me wait. He wants to do each tumor in a separate procedure so it’s easier on me but I’m hoping for a single procedure for one recovery period. I don’t really want to mess up my fall either. Haha
