On this last day of February in a Leap Year (February 29th) I’m making a few notes. First, I'm feeling less scared and more centered, today anyway. I finally mailed back the Quest Diagnostic box of supplies I’ve had for a YEAR and returned the AICD programmer that was Donald’s I’ve had for 3 years. I still felt sad turning it into the cardiology office.
I went to Overland Park yesterday and got my wig the VA paid for. I love the cut, style and color. I guess I will have Dan shave my head after my first chemo treatment this Monday, March 4th. I’ve read and been told by the NP in the oncology office that my hair will fall out by then 3rd week after the first treatment. I had a telemedicine visit with her (Madalyn) Monday and she covered every terrible and less terrible side effect I could have. Then I wanted to give myself the second day injection and that is not covered by my insurance. So…trying to get the VA to pay for it but when I looked up the cost the cheapest price I found was roughly $4600 a dose!!! I’m not optimist the VA will pay for it since I am not getting my cancer care through them. I will probably be driving the day after chemo back to KC to have the office administer it. Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to be a control freak.
