brightTopic: Cancer Treatment
My Blood Work and Home Oncologist's appointment were all fine today. He congratulated me for getting through this. . . I can't quite accept congratulation for what my body is or isn't doing. (If I had that much control, I certainly wouldn't have gotten cancer in the first place.) I never thought I'd choose this, but when he said that I could get my port-a-cath removed, I said that I thought I'd wait a while, and see what my plastic surgeon wants me to do--since I have one more big surgery to go. I was just a bit worried about what the surgical IV's had done to my one remaining hand that was "sort-of" OK to put an IV in. (It SOOO annoyed me that I had a perfectly good arm vein AND a port, and they chose to put the IV in my HAND. HEY, guys! I USE my hands--for fine detail work; don't you think you should put the IV somewhere else?)
