Congrats! Yesterday, I got an email from Véronic, the clinical nurse. I had to ship off a consent form for her to get a bit more info from my doctors. I am at least in the process! Can hardly wait for my date! Just hearing from her gave me  huge boost!

Wow,I must be dense today! I am not sure what you are asking. My referral came through my endo and family doctor. In BC, it comes direct form an approved doctor. Once Montreal accepts the referral and all is seen to be complete, then they fax BC Health for funding approval. This is, I have checked, is done quickly as the referral came from an approved doctor. So I just need to wait for Veronic to get the last bits of info and then she will as for funding approval. This is a two day turn around. When I emailed Veronic on Wednesday, she said that is is just standard protocol and is done all the time. So, hopefully not too much longer to the 'date' with Dr Brassard!

Thank you so much! I was really on a downward spiral and needed to hear something from Montreal!

I forgot that she's not from Ontario

I hear ya Hun I was starting to feel the same.

One thing everyone kept telling me was that they haven't forgot about you. It's hard to believe but it is true

I have read many a post from people saying 'to just hang in there' but I still found myself sinking. I know that I am not the most patient person, especially since HRT. Thanks for the support you two!

Have you heard anything yet?

Frustration, Frustration, Frustration!!! It took them over seven months to figure out that my referral was missing further letters! My main referring Dr told me it was all under control. This was back in May! Thanks to my gender therapist, who went far and beyond the call, I finally got this straightened out. I needed two more referral letters. I have one from her and a referral in for the second. This should have been done last Spring. I have learned a big lesson here and that I needed to look after things myself and not trust the 'expertise' of others. Anyway, I am again waiting for the current referral to be processed. At least this Dr. will do a video conference to meet the requirements. That way I do not have to fly home to have the appointment. Result - a delay of months to get a date.
