Well, well, Steph. The end of the story. And it's a good one. It all makes sense now. Your body is brilliant. Good job, bod! And I love that you are still remembering to diss canser
but misspelling it!
I admire your conviction to get the bottom of mystery and cooly maintain a reasonable head midst all the NOW WHAT?! that no one could seem to figure out.
Thanks so much for sharing this valuable lesson, which we will pass on.
BTW, ALL YOU LADIES WITH PORTS, y'all know how we love 'em and must care well for them. Freezing sprays and the like deteriorate surrounding skin, so I stopped using that a while ago, at various chemo nurses urging. The Imaging Center has new, faster, high powered Ct scans and has decided not to access ports for this dye, as they had in the past 9 yrs. So I am now down to my one good vein, in my wrist, in my one good arm. All other veins prove to roll over, collapse and blow out, much to the amazement of the nurses. But they look so juicy... They are an optical illusion.
Be good to your port, ladies, it has direct access to your heart. Still doing Amocillin 4 500mg pills one hr before any and all dental work, for anyone with a port.
Regulations for heart patients have changed but not for chemo patients w/a port.
