Tired of Waiting

On Monday I had chemo class, and my Lenvima arrived in the mail. Can I start taking it yet? Nope. I have to wait until I get the Keytruda infusion scheduled, and insurance hasn’t approved that yet. They had better approve it soon. Is it normal to keep people with advanced cancer waiting? My understanding of this treatment is that it usually takes a couple of months before it starts actively kicking in. It’s already been two months since my biopsy came back positive. Sometimes I feel fime, sometimes I feel a bit of pain in my midsection, and sometimes I panic that I’ll be incapacitated by a stroke any day now. Some folks would say that panic doesn’t help, so I make sure to just panic a tiny bit only.
