X-ray

Since last fall my port-a-cath does not have a blood return. The first two times tI was sent to vascular to check position. It was ok. But since then they have been taking a chest x-ray everytime to check. This also makes for a long day. In December it took them almost 2 hours to read the x-ray. Having a x-ray every 3 weeks can't been good for you.

So far I have had 1 bone scan, 2 MRI (5 ? spots on other breast), 1 CT of the brain (and they found one lol), 3 mugas, 3 ultra sounds. (2 on the leg one on chest and arm), 2 vascular procedues, and 5 chest x-rays. I have 4 more Herceptin treatments left.

Peace and blessing to you all.
