Yesterday was my fourth treatment out of 12.....a third of the way done. My treatments the last two times have been very painful in my arm resulting in us yesterday meeting with the surgeon to consult about a port a cath. We scheduled the surgery for the Monday before my next treatment and we are very happy about this decision. My PET scan to see how I've been responding to the treatments is next Tuesday and then getting the results hopefully on Wednesday. My doctor will be measuring the size of the nodes and compare them to my first PET...he told us to expect to see some significant progress so that is what we are hoping and praying for.
I did not feel well last night after my treatment so I went right to bed. I slept very well but still feel yucky this morning. I will just be taking things slow this morning but do still plan to go to work. This all could be much worse so am thankful for every day that I can still play with my boys and snuggle with Jason.

Hi Miranda,
ReplyDeleteWas thinking of you yesterday and just checked in to see that your treatment was painful again with the arm situation. So sorry to hear that. I am praying that the pain will subside real soon and you can enjoy the upcoming weekend. You are an inspiration to all of us.

You made a great decision to have the porta cath put in and, as I told you last night, no one should suffer unnecessary pain -EVER!!! I wanted to cry when I gave you a hug this morning just knowing that you felt crappy. But who am I to cry when you have this wonderful, upbeat attitude and went to work anyway? I say again, what a woman! I enjoyed watching Dylan playing around waiting for the bus and I swear, even if I were not his "Granny", I would say he is absolutely the cutest little guy in the whole world! Hope you enjoy your supper! Luv you all to death! Granny!
