Port Out

After developing a blood clot in my new port-au-catheter, the incision had to be opened to drain last week. Unfortunately, as it was draining, the port was pushed to skin-level so Dr. Stoeckle had to remove it today. So no port-au-catheters for me.

I have an appointment with Dr. McCoy (oncologist) tomorrow, to find out the results of the PET scan done last Saturday, and when chemo will begin. I'll update the blog after that.

I am SO ready for my body to heal and chemo to be completed so I can begin to get a normal life back. I've lost 48 pounds so have had to buy all new clothes which is costly. Since I'll not go back to work until late summer, I just bought comfortable "stay-at-home" clothes for now. Once chemo is completed, I'll have to get some "working" clothes.

I'm going to Greenville to be with David, Trisha and Heather for Mother's Day and am looking forward to that. I'm going to spend the night with my aunt and uncle in Danville to break up the trip since it will be my first trip by myself.

As always, thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
