Leaving Port!

Today was another milestone in my journey back to the land of normal.

I went to , this morning, to have my port removed that had been placed in my chest for chemotherapy purposes.

It was great when the doctor pulled it out and held it up for me to see.

My comment to him was that it looked like E.T. :~) So happy to see it on the outside of my body!

So today I left port...so to speak as I left my port in Tampa....I am so looking forward to a smooth sail from now on.

Fantastic News!

Paul and I just returned from Moffitt with fantastic news. All of my test results came back clean and Dr. Letson told me that I am doing a great job on rehabilitating my leg.
My next appointment will be on September 26th and every three months there after to follow up over the next two years.
As all of you can imagine......we are so very happy and relieved.

Celebration is in order for this evening :~)

Testing.....Testing... 1-2-3

So here I am back at Moffitt three weeks after I came for my last round of Chemo. This time it is not in patient, and it is to do tests to check out the state of affairs after all of the Chemo treatments.

The schedule has me here from 11:30am start time with my last appointment for a MRI at 6pm. Currently I am drinking a copious amount of a mystery drink that needs to be ingested for my CT scans. Hey, it is better than doing Chemo. My standards of what is okay have really come down since December!

I will be back on Monday afternoon at 2pm to meet with the surgeon, Dr. Letson, to go over the results. Naturally, I am sending all of my positive energy into the universe that it all is good!

I will be blogging again after I have news....meanwhile, Paul and I will be celebrating our 18-year wedding anniversary with a romantic dinner out this weekend  : )
