A personal story of my journey through the diagnosis and treatment of invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer; How it affects myself, my family and my friends. And, How I, as a patient am navigating "California Care", and how the doctor's and clinics have been able to navigate it.

Christmas Eve 2014
There is never a good time to be sick...
The last two weeks of the year are closing in and Kathy is busy scheduling herself for a pet scan, oncology consult, and surgery.
She is also calling the insurance company to find out her copay,
(we call it "entry fee") for each appointment and doing battle with the State Disability office.
Today she received what will most likely be her last paycheck for at least 6 months. Since her last two brain surgeries have kept her from working, it is possible that there won't be enough money in her disability account.
Since this situation is quickly becoming overwhelming, we are trying hard to focus on one day at a time.
On Monday December 22, she will have a pet scan.
On Wednesday December 24, she will meet with the oncologist and also the surgeon. Based on oncology/surgeon consults, she may have surgery on Monday, December 29.
Somehow she will schedule in grocery shopping and Christmas shopping...and of course holiday baking....
Please keep Kathy and her family in your thoughts.
