Yep, that's what I feel like I have with the newly placed port. BLEH. I hate the idea of something being inserted under my skin that I can feel. Gross. It made the chemo go better for me, but I also think that it is easier for the CTCA, which I really don't care about. :) It is all about me. It was worth it to not have that terrible burning in my arm after wards. The surgeon told me after out chat about the procedure that I would think to myself that I would wish I had done this a while ago. Wrong-o! I do what I have to do, but I much prefer to me all myself without plastic under the skin plugged into a super vein. If I could have it out tomorrow I would. Well if that wasn't running on about stuff I really can't change. :)
I do have some good news to share which I am super excited about, my new drug cocktail is doing super super super awesome! The way that we can tell is they did a tumor marker (measured through a blood draw) and it went down a bunch! That is a huge blessing and relief. I received another dose of it yesterday and am taking my at home chemo so I am looking forward to the next appointment because we get to see the progress (please continue!) on a PET. Then maybe we can talk about how long to be on drugs AND how long to have the port.
It has felt like a long time since we have had good news. Last year in July the bad news started and just kept on rolling. Sometimes I can't believe it has been a year that we have struggled through this setback. However, I am very hopeful for this to be the last of the cancer and turn it out for good! Thanks friends for your prayers and for your support. :)
