Step 3: First Round of Testing Part 2

Psycho-Social Evaluation: On August 9th a social worker from the treatment team called me and did a phone evaluation. It was pretty funny and awkward. And I learned that, that is not the time to pull awkward jokes to lighten the mood. This interview is suppose to take about an hour and it goes over your medical history (again), family medical history, your mental state, overall things about the process and how you will handle it. 

Paperwork: Additional paperwork that the hospital needs.

**Additional Testing: On August 11th I went in and had the testing done for my thyroid that my gynecologist recommended. I had to get the clearance on my thyroid before I could continue testing.
