11. Finalized the hospital

HOD of first hospital mentioned they can start the treatment in 20-25 days. That was too long wait for a Grade IV tumor patient. Our doctor and a few others mentioned the third hospital we were going to check has 3 months waiting for RT. So we skipped going to that.

First three were government hospitals. Fourth on the list was private. On visiting the hospital, doctor said they can start RT in 3 days but had a condition.

They wanted in written, from Director of a super speciality hospital for cancer located on outskirts of city, that this RT can be done and won’t do more harm than benefit. It took another day to get this in written.

Everything was set for the long RT procedure spread across a month and half. All this while, I had my office laptop with me which I was carrying for doing work from home. Leaving a few days, I worked almost all days in second half of day till late evening while searching and finalizing the hospital.
