It's or has anyone gone thru best cancer treatment at UNC? I'm going thru it at Duke and there have been several times when my care team has dropped the ball and caused delay in treatment. And the radiation mapping appointments are hard to get, so every small delay causes that appointment to get posted out farther and farther.

Also, I need a baseline bone scan before starting AI and the soonest they could get me in is in September. I skills start AI in mid June if I can ever get to the radiation part, that is. Any way, Sept seems to late for a baseline

Is UNC any better? I know hospitals are understaffed so maybe they are all like this.

Has anyone left their job and had to continue treatment using Cobra? Was there a period where treatment prior auth was denied because insurance ended and Cobra paperwork wasn't yet done?

I'm retiring May 1. Employer coverage will be good thru end of May. I was hoping that my radiation would be done by then. But there's been delays and I won't even start till mid May, hopefully.

I'm so worried how this will play out. My insurance company has been paying things so far, but they are sooooo sloooowwwww with processing claims and I fear they will be slow with Cobra reinstatement.

I could potentially ask my work if I can stay another month or two. I don't really want to tho.
