Just when you think it’s safe to stick your head out! Bam! Lol So here we are and I am beginning to feel the most like the rest of you as I have in about 8-10 weeks, It’s a very good feeling!! J Especially the appetitite! And I’ve regained some energy. I am enjoying things and feeling stronger. I feel like I am recapturing some weight as well.
Yesterday was my test day, this had been set aside for running Cat scans, and blood work etc. Whatever the team would need to analyze the situation. Mostly as I understand it they will be viewing the Tumor and determining if the Chemo has had a positive effect …(shrinking the bastard) or what. And determine the way forward with Surgery or other means. (Radiation, Chemo etc.)
So I am frankly anxious a bit getting the tests. They had to do the IV’s from both arms- yuk…. Anyway the results are to be presented to me on Tuesday the 28th.
This afternoon however I get a call that says one of the scans is revealing that my beloved medi-port has moved, and it they have to operate and replace one of the tubes in position- uggh, that port always made me anxious to begin with, So they are in a rush, they want to operate on the port Tuesday morning, so I can have Chemo on Tuesday YaY!!! And in order to do it I needed to go have blood work done …..Now.
So thanks to God I am just down York Ave from Sloan Memorial and a $4 Cab ride and ½ hour and the task is done!
So now I am waiting for confirmation of the surgery appointment and we are back on schedule.
I’ll tell ya what though; I need a good caregiver with me on Tuesday when I speak with the doc’s! Because I will be STONED from that Twighlight put-to-sleep stuff they give me when they operate and move my port. The information on Tuesday will be heavy duty- hopefully good, hopefully planning the next stages of my treatment.
