Thanks everyone. I’m getting some lactulose and prunes today. Also, when we say to drink plenty of fluids, were talking about water correct?
Has anyone tried the pear juice trick and did it work? Anyone other suggestions? My dad is getting constipation pretty bad.
Hey guys,
Thank you all for your help and support. My dad starts chemo tomorrow and we did get in contact with USC Cancer. They recommended having the oncologist try and get the insurance company to cover the 2nd opinion. We will be talking to the doctor tomorrow about it and at the same time getting a copy of his entire file. Also, I am lucky to work for a diagnostic lab and after getting in contact with the pathologist, he offered to look at my dad’s case and give his opinion free of charge!! How bout that!! We are trying our best to become as knowledgeable as we can, while we can. I’m at the point where I am beginning to stop worrying about what MAY happen and start focusing on what we CAN do right now. Stay positive, and I hope you all have a great weekend. God Bless All Of You!!! I will update once I have more info. I am incredibly thankful that I found this site.Be positive Jtoro!!! My father was diagnosed last week and was told the same thing. No one knows when they will go, not even a doctor. Sounds like you’re doing great and wish you and your family nothing but the best.
I completely forgot to ask… Do insurance companies cover 2nd opinions? He has Health Net HMO. Does one usually need a referral or something? I’ll be calling both USC and the insurance company tomorrow but just wanted some insight as to what others have experienced.
