We are hurting here
Advertisements [?]
My wife went to a cardiologist for ultra sound on the heart area Wednesday.
The Dr. found a mass in the aortic arch.
He said it could be a tumor, a clot, plaque, or an artifact (shadow or other picture anomaly).
She is know on COUMADIN® to thin the blood "just in case".

We got insurance approval yesterday for a CT Angiogram and found out today that we can't be scheduled until the 28th.

WTF?
Why in the hell do we have to wait so damn long during such a potentially life threatening situation?
If it is a thrombosis then we fear a stroke could happen any moment.
We are both stressed to the max.

Monday morning we are going to call radiology centers all over San Diego area to see if we can somehow get in to one and get a definitive picture.
We have Blue Cross POS so we are hoping we can figure this out soon.

Any advice would be most helpful.
Thanks
