Was driven to the hospital by "Larry" a volunteer driver. What a lovely man, we ended up talking a lot about genealogy.
First appointment was at IVR to have the gripper put into my port. He didn't have any problems so he feels nothing will be done after all. No surgery/exchange of port. I feel bad for the nurses who struggle with it.
Second Appointment was 2 parts. I had to drink a huge bottle of fluids prior to the CT scan, took me an hour and a half. It tastes horrible. I am allergic to the injectable fluid (
anaphylactic) so I have to drink the crappy fluid instead.
Third appointment was going to chemo to have my Pamidronate attached to the gripper. I told the nurses the doc decided not to put a new one in. They shook their heads and are not happy. Next step will be to talk to my oncologist and see if she can convince him to change it.
\Back to the 2nd appointment, I had to go to imaging to have a CT scan of my belly. Not sure exactly what they are looking for, I'll wait until my next oncologist appointment to find out. .
Next appointment is on Monday Sept 8th back to Ottawa for an MRI. Peter is coming with me.
The rest of the month is quiet. The kids Zoe, Zac and Ashlee) all went back to school.My 49th birthday is Monday September 15th, Zoe's 11th birthday is Wednesday September 17th. She starts her second year of Girl Guides Tuesday September 9th. And last but not least another appointment with my oncologist Wednesday Sept 24th.
I am sure my calendar will have more things added as days go by.....
