After only four rondus, I was in remission! However, I did develop neuropothy in my feet, experienced vomiting and diarrhea, chills and weakness. It was not easy, but I would do it again, as I have been in remission for six years.GD Star Ratingloading... I was scheduled to have eight rondus of four injections each.

It did, however, indicate some of the cancellations were initiated by the hospitals, so........ Some of the cancellations could also have been a result of the insurance company not approving the surgery at the last minute. There just wasn't any mention of that, nor were any particular reasons mentioned. The article was just about how much money the health care providers were losing.

My mom is on oxygen 24/7. While in the hospital they were going to wheel here down for surgery and the nurse didn't know if she could leave with a heart monior on. Since she's had heart attacks, quadruple bi-pass surgery, instinct tells me yes. But the nurse waited and called several doctors, (none of which were performing the surgery) and held up surgery for over 25 minutes, all the while my mom was in the hall on a gurney with no oxygen with some kid volunteering in transportation for his school credit. The nurse held up surgery, because she was concerned about the cost of the heart monitor and being reprimanded if the heart monitor didn't return. She WAS reprimanded by the surgeon for leaving my mother without oxygen prior to surgery and they had to put her on oxygen and wait for her level to rise before performing surgery, which means somebody most likley got bumped that day.
