Hi. :)
I had chemo treatment number 5 today. I was stuck 4 times and they finally got it. I was worried that they wouldn't get it and what would we do? Not have chemo? The girls who do my bloodwork said my veins were really hard. It sounded like this was they problem with the chemo sticks as well.
So in this new development, I am going to get a port in September prior to my next treatment on Sept 19th. The port requires surgery, can get infected, and will produce an ugly scar around my collarbone area. Oh well. It's time that I get it and save my veins. We have been using my right arm only. My doctor does not allow us to use the left arm due to one lymph node taken out and radiation on that side from the first time. So she prefers the port before switching arms.
I am feeling good after treatment. Took the puppy to the vet, took son to baseball practice. Came home and cooked spaghetti, mac n cheese, banana muffins for tonight and for the week. Very productive. :) I have three meetings for work over the next 2 days, out of this house! And from there I will go downhill by Wed afternoon and into next week. It's getting harder to recover quickly.
In 6 more treatments, it will be January 2, 2017. It is then that I will ask my doctor about a new plan. It's not guaranteed to change right away but she will know more about the new meds. I think the tricky part is knowing when exactly these new meds will be available. Until then, chemo it is!
I am feeling pretty well recovered from the ovaries out. My hot flashes are about the same but probably with a little more intensity in them. It's an event when they come on. My insides go to 500 degrees and stay there for about 3-5 minutes. I average about 2 per hour or so.
I feel good. Laying down to go to sleep now, and probably won't sleep well due to steroids. I like productivity and feeling good. It's fueling for now as I know what's coming later.
Take care my sweet friends. Thanks for your caring loving hearts and prayers for me. It means the world.
To God be the glory. I am cancer free and I am living another day to fight this horrible disease.

Thank you for the update! I think you'll be happy with the port and am glad you've chosen it. A friend of mine made that same choice and says it really simplifies things. I hope that is the case for you, too. I know you are being your amazing self and taking care of everyone around you - as long as you take as good care of yourself! And I know your mom is a powerful partner in that! Love to you both! You are always in my prayers and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLove and Prayers Amanda!
