The Original Intent Of This Blog

April 2006 - It seems vain to create a blog about me however, I realize that it is the most efficient way to provide accurate information about the status of my treatment and recovery so here I go .....

May 2009 - The cancer has returned, here I go again ...

December 2009 - I've finished chemo and am cancer free; I continue to receive Herceptin and the trial drug.

Funny How Things Happen

I started the day at 8:30 meeting with Kim at CBCC to have my port accessed and then I headed in to work for a couple of hours. The last thing I expected was to return to work after having a couple of days off only to leave again for a medical procedure but oh well, the procedure is being done at Truxtun Radiology which is only a few blocks away from work and last week the very same procedure only took a few minutes.

Funny how things happen … it turns out that Truxtun Radiology has four sites and after arriving at the site closest to my work and by the way the site where the test was performed last week, I find out that the test today is at the site which is the farthest away from work.

Funny how things happen … my appointment was for 11:50 and I was not called in for the test until 1:15. I cannot complain though because I was 15 minutes late due to my assumption of the location.

Funny how things happen … last week the radiology doctor removed the port access however, today the radiology doctor did not remove the access which meant I had to return to CBCC for the removal.

What should have taken approximately one hour, instead took two and half hours. It was very frustrating until I returned back to CBCC for the access removal and, funny how things happen … I saw my friend Donna who had been there since 8:00 am for the first of eighteen chemo treatments (3 days of chemo followed by three weeks off and repeated six times).


By the way, today’s test results were exactly the same as last week’s … the port is leaking.
