teach visit, port & chemo schedule
We just got back from the teach visit where they explain all about the drugs I will be on for chemo. They also went over the port procedure, which is what I am most anxious about. If you are to pray for anything specific in the next day please pray for my anxiety over the port placement which is still scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30am.
The nurses did say to prepare for losing my hair. They said it really depends on my hair strength and I do lose hair all the time, so not sure if that matters, but it's better to prepare for it than it to be a surprise. Also it might get really thin and not all fall out so if anyone has any scarves?? I don't and don't feel very fashionably inclined to know how to wear them, so please help!
Tomorrow's schedule is 7:30am register at Miriam, 8:30 am port procedure. Recovery from procedure than dr's apt with oncologist Dr. Safran at 12:40pm. Chemo treatment starts at 1pm.
We made it to Pawtucket and back today in the storm, it's not too bad yet, hopefully it won't get too bad and we can have everything as scheduled tomorrow.

Very much pray for your safe trip to and from Miriam in this storm! The port site will be a bit sore, but nothing like having the veins in your arms accessed each time!
