"Bad Day. F*ck It."

What movie? A cookie to the first one who gets it!

Seriously, though, a bad day. When I woke up this morning Joe had been awake for hours and was angry and afraid. I guess is was a rough night and when we talked during his break it sounded like the misery continued into his day. :(

All perfectly normal, of course. It's just tough to watch him feel that way. He's still determined, just scared. And angry. As am I.

On the practical side, I'm STILL trying to figure out whether Medicaid, Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) or sticking with Access Now is the right approach. Anyone have any sense of what medications associated with chemo treatment are or cost? Access Now covers no meds. I think chemotherapy will be considered a treatment, not a drug, but I'm sure there are others he'll be on.

I got the GI doc to email me the CT scan report, and our awesome physician friends looked at it. One suggested Joe get an oncologist before the surgery- that chemo before the surgery may be a better route. I'm trying to coordinate that with Access Now. Another is hoping to talk with Joe's surgeon today to get a better sense of how to read the CT report.

Tonight we have some cleaning and chores to do, but tomorrow we'll have some fun!
