2008-06-24 — More Oncology

So went in early to the hospital and — this is hard to believe — didn't have to wait at all! This is a first. I was seen by Professor Kornek's assistant — a younger male doctor, Doctor Vormittag — his name means 'morning' — must come from a family of early risers — no wonder he didn't keep me waiting, but he's not on the right track to be a professor!

We talked quite a bit about what was involved and a date was set for the first session — Tuesday the first of July. I have to be there about 9:00 and it'll be over at around 16:00. It's in a day-clinic high up in one of the two towers of the hospital where the normal wards are. It'll be a 'two books and an IPod' occasion.

There's a whole list of medications I have to take at home in the two or three days following each session and he went over these for me. Before all that I have to have some tests done and the results faxed through to him — tedious but nothing special.
