Everything went great today. Dr. Harris placed my port near my collarbone on the left side. Great treatment at Renown. Much better recovery room experience today than with surgery four weeks ago. I even had a nurse that just sat with me and chatted for a while.
So while I was out, I also had Dr. Harris remove a skin cancer lesion on my right forearm too. In November Scott and I went to the skin cancer doctor and both had cancerous lesions (squamous cell and basal cell). We were supposed to have more removed from where they biopsied, but then I ended up having to prioritize my cancers! Geez... Go figure! And here I thought I would always be exempt from any type of cancer- no family history to speak of. I am LIVING proof that it just doesn't matter! Just pay attention to your own little bodies and the hints that something might be up!
Anyway, tomorrow I have the echocardiogram to make sure I'm ticking ok before chemo. I will also have another follow up appt with Dr. Kiener (plastic surgeon) and then the Look Good Feel Better program. My niece, Becky, will be joining me for that! Should be fun!
I feel like I have so much to be thankful for today. From the wonderful care I received, to my sweet Becky and Jared for putting up with us, oops, I mean putting us up for a couple nights!
Thanks again to all of you who read this and keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
