I had my 7th chemo treatment today only one more to go thank goodness. My treatment today was not the norm of course. They tried to access my port but it didn't work the first time, they had me walk around moving my arms up and down and trying to cough. That didn't work then they laid me on a bed and pretty much had me upside down with my feet in the air that didn't work either. So back to my chair I went they reaccessed me and no luck they said that my white blood cells were blocking the catheter so they would inject a medicine to unblock it but it would take and hour. They wanted to keep things on schedule so they asked to do an IV for my chemo....yikes I hate needles so I got my self worked up and had a bit of a teary moment while they wrapped my arms in warm towels to try and find the best vein. They had luck and the nurse was so gentle putting in the IV then I was hooked up and good to go for chemo. I got my ice gloves and we were set.
They came back an hour later and were able to access my port so I should be good to go for my last chemo on June 21st. Only one more to go woohoo! After chemo the bear and I went to the mastectomy/prosthesis shop in Abby so I could have a look at my options they have some really nice bras and I got to hold and feel my new boob option it was very soft and pretty light. They also carry bathing suits so I think I will be all set come August - Sept when I have to go try them on.
The bear and I went to Cactus club for lunch yummy. Enjoy your weekend!
