The port removal and replacement went very smoothly and easily yesterday. I now have two whole new sets of nurses and techs there at the hospital who know me and Pete since we've been there so frequently and in such a short time (almost three weeks to the day I was there for the chemoembo). The pre/post op nurses are great and I got to actually pick the one I wanted since I knew her from last time! Plus the nurses and techs in the operating room...I knew a couple of them from last time, too (so I got extra sleepy drugs to help me through the painful parts!)! So they took it out from the right side of my chest, closed it up nicely and put in a brand new one on the left side. It's all bandaged up and extremely sore but I'm doing alright. Pete has taken the day to work from home so he can help me manage around the house...how sweet is he?!
This is a blog about us Honeys. We've been married for 6 years, live in Littleton, CO, have a Chihuahua named Dobby, a Rat Terrier named Scarlett, three awesome cats (all referred to as our Furry Kids!) and some fish.
In November 2007 I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer of the liver) and nave been undergoing chemotherapy since December '07 & Proton Radiation Therapy at M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX from December '08 - February '09, and then back on eternal chemo until we get the tumor to shrink away from one salvageable vein in the liver so that it can be surgically removed. We use this blog to keep family and friends updated on our struggles, loves, challenges, celebrations, goals, ideas and the general daily grind!
