I've got an appointment with Steven Treon at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for the 17th, but I'm going to move it to the 24th. They want medical records a week in advance, and there's no way I'll get the records to them by Monday. I'm excited about this: as mentioned in previous posts, he's The Man when it comes to WM.
A package arrived from Dana-Farber today. It's got a list of places to stay near the center. There's a wide variety of options, from the YMCA at about $40/night to fancy hotels @ > $200/night. There is also a network of volunteers who let patients stay for free in their homes. Sort of couch-surfing for cancer patients. There are some reasonable options for under $100/night. I'll probably pick one of those; I'm not interested in a 4 star hotel, and don't want to mess with the volunteer network on my first visit. If I end up making lots of trips (don't consider that likely at this point) I may look into it. My plan is to go up on Sunday for a Monday appointment and return home that same day.

Update: I spoke to Karin Anderson @ Dana-Farber today; she said as long as I get the info from my local doctor up to them early this week, the appointment for the 17th should be OK. So that's the plan. My wife has to check her calendar at work to find out if she can go that day. (Hope she can!)
