Thanks for all your input! His apt with his normal physician went well he ordered a ct to see if his pain is from scar tissue then we can go from there on next steps. He was very happy to have someone at least take him seriously-yes he was VERY discouraged! not to mention hes sitting around with cancer growing inside waiting for insurance to approve treatment that has been denied once. everyday he has been taking two ex strength Tylenol for weeks because of the pain.. He has been telling the cancer doc- and the surgeon.. the surgeon said well maybe you ate something hows your diet? Dad was kinda taken back by that comment. so im glad to hear his doc is heading in some direction:)

@formydad It's good to hear the doctors are appealing the decision by the insurance company. I guess they want to hear how serious his team is about treating the situation like this? Pull out the big guns! Will a personal interview with the insurance people help his situation? Heck, we'll all pile into that room and overpower them with testimony on his behalf!!
When is the CT scan set for? I want to put that on my calendar.
