UNHOOK + EMERGENCY ROOM TRIP!

-

Jan. 6

Well I am still having the chest pain/tightness while I am hooked up and it will last for a few days after unhook. So we decided to hit up the ER just to make sure it isn’t my heart. They ran some test which showed low potassium so they gave me some potassium pills to take for a week. They also did a chest CT to rule out any blood clots. Which came back clear so I got to come home last night. Glad it’s not blood clots but that means it is probably just a side effect of the treatment which stinks if it will continue to happen everytime.

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!!

 Here we go!! Round 2 treatment number 14! So the Dr wants to get the port moved to the other side which is fine with me. After my port study the next morning I had that same chest pain that happened during treatment last time. So it didn't have anything to do with the chemo. They gave me a different muscle relaxer that helped yesterday so hopefully that will keep helping because I really don't want to have to take the steroids again! Kicking cancers ass!!!
