We got through Wednesday in relatively good shape. I ate a little at 4:45 a.m. because I wasn't allowed to eat after 5:00 due to the port placement. We left the house at 5:30 and didn't get back until 7:00 in the evening. It was a long day.
The port placement was a bit more involved then I knew. They inserted an object about the diameter of a quarter and about 1/2 inch thick. Attached to it was a line at least a foot long that they threaded through an vein. I have actually had more discomfort from that procedure then with the chemo. The nausea medicine they give these days are great!!
We also got the PET results back on Monday morning. The tech who did it on Friday asked a few disconcerting questions after looking at the scan, but was unable to tell us anything. But my Doctor called me first thing on Monday, and said it looked really good. Nothing showed up on the scan. The scan was taken to see if there was any cancer anywhere else in my body, particularly in my lymph nodes. This is not a 100% accurate test, but is very helpful in knowing what we are dealing with. He said so far I have beaten all the odds!! PTL!!
Lois had hamburgers from the grill ready for when we got back. They have such a blessing to us. It is so nice to have someplace for Maria to stay that is so convenient and that she feels so comfortable.
