Todays radiation was uneventful. In and out. Today my main concern was finding out more about a port line, so I don't have to have IV's poked in my arms anymore. We went upstairs to chemo and asked a nurse about the port line. She had me talk to a gentleman patient that had one (he was getting his chemo at the time). He said it was easy enough to get and doesn't hurt when he gets his chemo or when he gets blood taken. I really like that response.
Chris and I went over to set up the surgical procedure. We were hoping for tomorrow because my internal radiation is on Friday and I wanted the port for that very reason. Bingo, we got in for Wednesday at 8:30am. Come to find out the port procedure costs $5000 but since we are so over our insurance deductible it would be 100% covered. Sweet. Looks like I am going to be the proud owner of a port by tomorrow afternoon. Kind of scared, kind of excited. Let you know how the procedure goes.
I just found out today that you have been going through all this! I know I can't do much (being that I am about 2000 miles away), but I will be praying for you and your family.
