You'll get a preliminary schedule in the mail beforehand. The schedule will likely change though, as they add/delete tests along the way. The first few days are exhausting, but you get a weekend off to relax. The last 2 days weren't full for me-- maybe they reserved that time in case I needed more tests. Regarding the tests, yikes, I had a lot of radiation!
The first 3 days I had a private room assigned to me, which was very helpful since I needed to lie down to produce a sputum sample. I also brought back Chick-Fil-A lunch (right across the street) and ate in my room.
The weirdest thing was that they needed you to stay hydrated for tests (and for lung health) but quite often I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything because of tests. My nurse was exceptionally good at penning on my schedule exactly when I had to quit eating and drinking and when I could start up again. I also didn't have time to do airway clearance after the first 3 days, so I ended up coughing up a bunch of sputum at my tests. Thankfully, everywhere you go, they have an endless supply of tissues and trash cans, LOL.
All the tests aren't complete when you leave, so you don't necessarily have the full picture when you leave. I have to follow up with a couple of specialists at home now.
Not sure what else to tell you. Get a hotel that's relatively close-- mine was about 15 mins away with an easy drive. There's no need to stay right there at the (expensive) very close hotels.
@letsjustbreathe thank you for sharing. The schedule they sent looks overwhelming!
