cancer? My 87 year old father is being denied cataract surgery. He was diagnosed with small cell stage 3 lung cancer in November 2009. He had one chemo capsule the beginning of December. No other cancer treatment since that point of time. He just had blood work done a few days ago. From what I understand his blood work came back good, it doesn't appear as if his cancer has spread...his kidney count is a bit out of the norm. Other than insurance denial, what reasons would there be to deny him cataract surgery?
