2nd chemo

 Had the treatment on Wed, 2/16. Today is Tuesday 2/22. This shit sucks. I'm nauseous and somewhat weak. I can't imagine what the next FOUR treatments will be like. 

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. 

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. 

Quick intro

 Im going to be using this platform instead of CaringBridge. So, in summary, breast cancer diagnosis, stage 2, one chemo treatment down, five to go.  Hair is gone.
