@cmcguire10 Oh thank you! At Swedish they assign you a team. I don't know if this is standard practice or not but you get a PA, an interventional radiology team, a thoracic surgeon and an oncologist....in that order as you progress.

I have written the PA and asked her to make sure that it is visible everywhere on my chart that I am alone and will be going to a hotel.

This may be silly but I'm afraid of slipping through the cracks and being sent out to a hotel alone. I will absolutely contact hospital social services!! I'll pin it on my gown if I have to lol.

Thank you for your insight in to recovery for me. You know, I thank God that I have the mental faculties to take care of all these things. WHEN I get through this I am 100% going to volunteer in assisting people who are alone and sick in navigating this process. It breaks my heart Every time I take care of another loose end I think "Oh my how would xxxxx do this if she didn't have family." So sad.
