Chemo in Fort Atkinson

Matt has ended insurance on September 30th with Federated. Now his primary is Dean Care for the month of October. He is looking for 3 treatments in October from Dean Care and then his new insurance takes over November 1.

Johnson Creek cancer center is not a Dean Care Provider. We have tried to get Dean Care to let Matt continue his chemo treatments in Johnson Creek. They decided that he should stay in network and go to a Dean Care Treatment center in Fort Atkinson. So for the month of October Matt will have his treatments in Fort Atkinson. He is having 3 treatments and taking off the Friday, the 29th for Rehearsal night and he is taking off the following Friday so Matt and Casey can take a weekend to themselves.

Matt had his first treatment today in Dean Specialty Clinic. The clinic is a few blocks from the hospital. Matt saw Dr. Amit Sanyal. He gave Matt a good once over. He checked him out from head to toe. He says he likes to watch his patients closely. Matt has to have labs the next two weeks before he gets his treatments. He has to go to Fort Atkinson Hospital for labs a half hour before he gets his chemo treatment. The treatment center is smaller than Johnson Creek but all the people we met today were really nice and very helpful.

"Trust", When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise. (Psalm 56:3)

Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!
