After several phone calls between the tribal health clinic, the Mayo Clinic, and Marquette General Hospital's Cancer Center, we have arranged for an appointment in Marquette, which is just about an hour drive from Baraga.
This appointment is on January 4 at 2:25 p.m. At the appointment Ma will meet with Dr. Nukala for a consult. Because the nurses at the Cancer Center at Marquette won't just take her in for treatment without having one of their doctors review Ma's case, they have these consults. Since Dr. Hartmann at Mayo has already faxed the treatment instructions along with medical history, the doctor in Marquette should be up to speed.
So by the end of the consult, we should have a treatment scheduled in Marquette on or close to January 11, which keeps Ma on her monthly schedule per Dr. Hartmann's instructions and treatment plan.
