Almost daily blood draws at hospital

Bless you for trying to help - it is so hard, as you know, to deal with the busyness of our doctors...like I said, you need to be a burr sometimes.
Good luck, and take a deep breath.
Is your Mom in a small hospital, or a larger facility?

Dad is the one with the diagnosis in a large hospital. Mom is staying with him at the hospital as a caretaker.
It looks like I won't need to broach the blood draw topic because they're planning on discharging him very soon since his insurance doesn't cover anything other than emergency treatment at that out of state hospital. He had bone mets that required surgery and this out of state hospital could treat him surgically soonest so his admitting hospital made the call and transferred. Now I need to find out does he really have to recover from the orthopedic surgery before getting any cancer treatment since he won't be able to walk for a few weeks, but if it is the SCLC timeline...my parents tell me the doctors would hurry if this was an emergency. I don't agree.
