Today I found out that my Dad's tumor was indeed malignant. Why it tookt he doctor THREE weeks to impart this imformation I do n nit understand and I ma livid about it. He referred my Dad to a Radiology Oncologist who is out of Dad's insurance network a nd 45 minutes from his house. I am insisting that he use my oncologist who is 15 minutes away and is WONDERFUL (as is his whole staff) AND is part of my Dad's insurance plan to boot.Tomorrow I will go over and sit down with Dad and Mom and get it all sorted out.Dad is afraid that the surgeon will be "offended" if he uses someone other than the docotr he recommended - I said Hogwash! The man waitied THREE weeks to give you those results - and the other doctor is too far away and you will have topay out of pocket for him. I doubt the surgeon cares one way or the other who he goes to.

OH!As I was leaving the Minskoff, I saw someone I thought I recognized... And as I got closer, I found that I did indeed recognize him! It was the actor, Jason Butler Harner, who's had some pretty decent Broadway roles lately (Coast of Utopia), as well as some TV ("Law & Order", "Fringe") and movie ("The Changeling") appearances. We were both in undergrad at the same time at Virginia Commonwealth University. And even though we've both been in New York City for a couple of years, this is the first time that we've seen each since we graduated! Almost 20 years ago!He's currently in an off-Broadway play with Bobby Cannavale down at Rattlestick, and I may just try to see him - and the show - tomorrow night.
