Day 8,9 - Scheduling the treatment

Trying to schedule all the appointments, my advice is don't rely on call back. Get all the direct number from each department and reach them yourself. That would speed up your process. We choose the procedure to implant a port on his chest for coming Chemo instead of the picc line, that way it will have less chance of having infection. Nerve block appointment has scheduled next week so at least he will get rid of taking the "oxycontin" for pain. That high dose of pain killer will make you addicted if you don't pull yourself out from it. We will meet with the oncology doctor again tomorrow; hopefully he will plan out all the schedule of the chemo appointment. At least we have something moving forward now. His pain control is getting a little better so at least he can start eating a little bit at a time besides just taking "Ensure".
