(Dad and Aaron waiting for admission to the hospital)Monday was a long (but good) day at the hospital. We arrived at Morris Cancer Center at 12:45 for our first appointment at Duke. After blood tests, we met with the doctor. We all really like
dad's new oncologist. After going through his history, the doctor admitted dad to the hospital for a bunch of tests. Since we would like to move forward with chemo as soon as possible, the doctor thought admission would get everything done more efficiently.
We finished at the Cancer clinic and dad was wheeled over to the hospital admission in style (wheelchair, of course). We went out to eat before finally getting admitted at 9:00 p.m.
He got a good night sleep last night and began getting tests at the hospital this morning at 7:00 a.m. This included a chest X-Ray, Bone scan and MRI. One Wednesday he is scheduled to receive a PET scan. We will meet with the oncologist again on Thursday once the tests have all been done and reviewed.

I am glad all of you like the doctor. It means so much to feel confortable and have a good relationship with your physician. Thanks for the update.
