Long day at Dana Farber

We started the day with the doctor giving a brief overview of things and a slew of paperwork.

With all of the consent forms and such, you would have sworn we were buying a house!

Next came an injection to test for TB and a meeting with a social worker.

The social worker was actually very useful.

We found a way to get cards for gas as well as a way to get free parking for the duration of my stay at the hospital.

I then did a puliminary function test and lab draw.

The pulinary test was a non event but I was amazed at the lab draw. They took twenty one (21) vials of blood from me. Holeee crap!

The afternoon was spent doing an EKG, chest x-ray, echocardiogram, and an info session with the coordinating RN.

She was fantastic, going through every detail. We were given a calendar which broke down each thing that was happening and what I am likely to experience on a per day basis.

Dana Farber definitely has their act together.

We largely went from appointment to appointment like clockwork.
