What a question to ask, right? Can I hate my port? Because if that’s ok, I really do. Especially after today.
For my PET scan, they have to inject me with a radioactive glucose. Unfortunatly, my port was clogged (UGH!!!!!), so she had to give it to me in my arm. Not a big deal, except that after the scan, I had to go up to the infusion center and have it declogged. If I get good news from the Dr. on Friday, I’m ready to be done with this port.
The scan itself went fine. It was only 25 minutes long, but for some reason, was very uncomfoprtable this time. I’m not sure why my shoulders hurt so much, but I was very glad when it was over!
That’s it for today…results of the scan on Friday – apt is at 11:40 and then going out to lunch with Tom. 🙂 I will post Friday evening.
Praying this is the last time you’ll have to deal with this problem!!
We will be waiting for your Friday blog. Praying all will have gone well. Thinking for you.
Praying for peace in all things.
praying for a good report.
How frustrating! I’ve heard of several survivors having issues with their ports being clogged. Have you noticed a lot of overall body pain since surgery? I have. My onco thinks it’s probably Fibromyalgia – post cancer-related. I’ve never had this type pain in my life…kinda feels like having the flu all the time with achiness and general all over pain. Just wondered if you’d experienced the same. Maybe you should mention it to your doc and see what they think. I hear Lyrica is supposed to help but don’t know anything about it and none of needs to have to add yet another medication to our ever growing list, do we??? Anyway, I sure hope you get better results than you expect. I’m keeping prayers going up for you and trusting God to hold you tightly. Love and prayers, Bonnie
The body pain I was having stopped when I stopped the hormone blocking pill, so I know it was a side effect from that. I do notice I tend to hurt all over if I do not exercise. 🙁 Sorry you are dealing with that! Praying for you as well!
