Waiting for Cancer Treatment [View all]

I have follicular lymphoma.

The first time after treatment, I had remission for about 12 years.
The second time after treatment, I had remission for about 15 years.

Over the last two years, I have been less successful.
In all three separate treatments, treatment did not remove all of the lymphoma.
I made a decision on 08/04 on course of treatment.

However, I am at a standstill with my healthcare provider.
Some board needs to make a decision and they only meet on Mondays.
They did not make a decision on 08/09.
They are not scheduled to make a decision on 08/16.

I am fed up with their decision process.
I want treatment to start as soon as possible.

I am very seriously considering switching healthcare providers.

Thank you,
Michael
