PORT REPLACEMENT!

-

Today we had to go to the hospital for my port procedure. Which I thought was just them pulling the tubing down but that is not what happened. They replaced and repositioned the port so now it is a little higher and the tubing goes into the jugular in my neck. I was told no lifting with my left arm so it doesn’t mess with the placement which means no work then for 4 days. Not too happy about that but what are you gonna do? Right now I’m in pain hoping it subsides soon. With this repositioning I sure hope it helps with the chest pain and tightness I’ve been having after my previous treatments. I will find out this coming week so fingers crossed. Until next time!

PORT REPOSITIONING & REPLACEMENT!

  Today I got to have my port moved from the left side to my right. We are hoping this helps with the chest discomfort I get every treatment. Also we weren't able to get blood return so every treatment I would have to get a blood draw and a poke in my port!  James took me and unfortunately the hospital policy changed this morning on the visitors not being allowed so he was not able to be in the room or the hospital! Was feeling ok when I got home but that changed after a few hours and now it is pretty sore. Here's to hoping I can work tomorrow!!

 Well yesterday I went in for treatment 15, didn't have the cramping this time!! But still have nausea but they gave me a different anti nausea med to see if that helps better. I have some amazing people in my life as James had to work so Teddy came to take me to treatment and then Kathie came and brought me home!! I was able to eat mac n cheese after I got home but didn't eat anything for dinner because I just wasn't hungry but it's like that the first few days!  Oh and they had candy there, couldn't help myself!! Thank you to all that come here to read the updates!!
