Hi callalloo, TY so much for your help . I do already have that extra paid for insurance plan , because I had breast cancer 5 yrs ago , and was afraid of potential return and with huge expense. It is also with Kaiser , so the medicare people said I am " assigned to them " and the Kaiser people do not want to allow any outside 2nd opinion , without a fight . They are so horrible . Every day , another bad surprise happens with them . Today it was a new prescription just showed up , for B12 pill , which is listed as "need to fill " . NO ONE discussed this or told me ,so now I have to figure out which dr posted it , and did they even check for interactions or overdoses with the 2 chemo drugs/ etc ? The total LACK OF COMMUNICATION makes me crazy , since last week one told me to take 1000mg per day ( Huge error ) It's mcg , not mg ! Micrograms not milligrams . Last week , the head of oncology actually booked an appt for me, (Interstate) which overlapped a standing appt , across town at a 2nd hospital (Sunnyside) ! NOT HELPFUL. Then it falls to me to call and sit on hold 15-20 minutes to correct their mistake . GRRRRR. So much stress , not much help fighting this cancer . It means the world to me that good people like you are out there , actually helping me . Very best regards, PJ
