So much is going on I don't know where to begin!

The hospital got back to me regarding their early cancer detection blood test. They've agreed to cover the nearly $1000 price tag for the labs. It's still technically experimental, so it's not FDA approved. No FDA approval means insurance wouldn't touch it. I get the labs done next week, with a two week turnaround for results.

I also got a call for my long awaited colonoscopy. I get it next Wednesday which is going to suck as its a workday. I don't anticipate any grief from my boss about it, but I'm still losing a full days wages. As far as the colonoscopy goes, I'm likely going to have to have it done without anesthesia seeing as my go-to ride is starting chemo.

My mom got her new cancer meds, but she's also got to deal with a round of chemotherapy which... yeah.

I've done colonoscopies awake before, so that won't be a huge deal.

The majority of my upcoming day can be summed up in one word: bills.

Wasn't all bad though! Third time was the charm on going to the movies and, courtesy of January being my birth month, I got my ticket and my popcorn combo for free! Movie was Beekeeper. Decent enough Jason Statham action flick with a surprise Doctor Who actor playing in it. Good distraction from the "fun" ahead.
