Week of 2/14

 My Port has to be replaced. It was supposed to happen last week, but the Surgeon rescheduled to include an interventional radiologist on the procedure.


This surgery is taking place Monday, 2/14.

My second Chemo appt is on Wednesday, 2/16.

This week is going to suck.

Port Replacement

 Today's procedure went well! The radiologist said the previous one was placed way too low. It was near the top of my breast, when it should have been just under my clavicle (collarbone). That's where the new one is now.  I'm resting. In a bit of localized pain. 👍 Drugs. Lol New trivia: certain classes of Radiologist can perform certain types of surgery. This procedure used live x-ray imagery so they could see exactly where things were being placed.

Surgery Scheduled

 Good day, Party People. Sorry I haven't been posting. Final chemotherapy treatment will be next week, 5/11. My surgery is scheduled for June 3rd.  NOW I'm nervous. I know post-surgery is difficult, but I have no idea what to expect.  I haven't had any major surgery before. After the surgery I will have a Radiation treatment of the left chest wall. The procedure will be Mastectomy of the left breast and removal of one lymph node. I plan to have a reconstruction done, but won't know when.  I think the options are close to surgery but after radiation; or much later, after healing. I have a plastic surgery consult on 5/9.

Two Weeks out

 In 2 weeks I'll be having surgery. This is a bit scary and I'm trying not to go overboard preparing for everything BUT I don't want to not be prepared BUT I don't know what all to prepare for.  LMAOcrying.  For my peace and safety, I'll be at an extended stay hotel with kitchenette.  My mom is coming to take care of of me.  Asyre, my son, is autistic and is too strong for me in general and especially now.  I can't risk him being an ass, physically, with me. So that's why be I'll be out of the house for 2 weeks.
