So- as you may have read in the previous blog, I did not get a chemo treatment today because the port is not working. I received a phone call this afternoon and I am to come prepared for surgery at 7:30 in the morning. They will first draw blood through a vein in the arm to find out where my blood levels are at then they will give me a chest x-ray to see if the port has become disconnected from catheter. If it is still connected they will inject dye into me and x-ray the area to see if there are any breaks/defects/ or blood clots. Depending upon what they find, it will likely mean surgery to fix, replace, or repair the problem. If it is blood clots I don't know what they are going to do. The nurse just told me to be prepared for anything.
Just keep praying, please. One of the side-effects of one of the drugs was circulatory collapse after the first dose. All the pain in the arm, the swelling of the area, the discoloration of my arm are pointed in that direction. My life is in God's hands and the hands of the medical team He has put together for me.
