Friday

Yesterday was the first appointment with the new doctor (Dr. Agarwal) at the new hospital. ACRC at UAMS (Arkansas Cancer Research Center @ University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences - http://www.uams.edu/ ). They changed Mike's pain pills from Tylenol3 to morphine. Why the first doctor gave Tylenol to someone with cancer in the liver?! - who knows.
Monday we have an appt for a new CT scan at 2:30pm, the first on was chest only and he wants a full body scan. Friday we have an appointment for an installation of an I-Port (to inject the chemo) at 9am, Dr appointment at 1:30pm, and the first chemo treatment at 2pm.
Today I'm going back to the original doctor in Conway to pick up the films of the MRI and Bone Scan that were supposed to be sent to the new doctors office but weren't. Mike is resting, his pain patch wore out yesterday and the new one hasn't caught up yet so he's feeling pretty bad.
