Another day.

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. I'm not able to do much of anything. 

We did get to go to Boston. To the Dana Farber Clinic. The trip down was excruciating. Two hours on the bus. Walking around the bus station and thru it to get to the outside. Getting a cab to take us to the clinic. It cost us $17.40 to go 4 mile. This cabbie drove us all over the place. We passed the same police station twice. I mentioned it and he said oh no not the same. But I remembered the address, It was in bold letters on the side of the building. I was pissed. Bill wanted to give him 5 dollar tip, I said no fucking way. I gave the guy a twenty dollar bill and then I gave him a piece of my mind. I was totally pissed.

Walked some more to get to the right place inside this incredibly busy and hectic place. Outside the building there are valets who will park you car if you drive in. Next time, if we go, that's what I'm going to do. No more cab rides for me.

The doctor was nice. They asked questions and said they looked at the reports we had sent to them. They did the same type of exam that the doctor here in Maine did. Put a scope down his nose and looked into his throat and larynx. But, saw no cancer in the larynx. The time that I saw the pictures from before there were these white spots (the cancer cells) on the walls of his larynx. They weren't there this time. How can that be?  I asked the doctor and she said she's not sure. His throat is still sore and of course, what he was being treated for, the infection, is probably another cancer site. HOLY crap.Well, they want to biopsy and then figure out how to treat.

That was in February. It is now almost April and we still haven't heard from MaineCare whether we can get the treatment in Boston or not. Tomorrow I'm going to call and see if they want Bill to die. Would that be cheaper for them???

I'm tired right now. Very depressed and am about at the end of my rope.

I'll post again later. Hopefully, we'll get the ball rolling again.
