Here is a lil update on my week:
June 23- Stopped taking the blood thinner. I had to be on a very low dose to make sure I didn't get any clots in my port (so sexy)
June 25- Had my radiation planning appointment. The doctor said my heart was nowhere in the ct scan (a very good thing) and that I have good anatomy for the radiation. I got my "tattoos" to make sure the lasers line up in the right spot each time. I asked them for John's name, a butterfly and any Chinese symbol, but the best they could do were 3 tiiiiiiiiny black dots that I honestly can't see. I have freckles bigger than the tattoos. And I didn't feel a thing. They also had to take digital photos of me topless on the machine. I told the guy I better not see those photographs on the internet later and he laughed and said usually people aren't this funny during their appointments and I told him I am hilarious hahahahahha. The doctor also asked if John was my husband and I said he wasn't but maybe she could be a dear and go have a talk with him. I start radiation Monday (July 1) and will be done August 15. I'm almost there folks.
June 28- Finally got my port removed!!! It was the same doctor who put it in and he is super funny. I told him I was nervous and he said "that makes 2 of us". As I was getting ready to leave the room, the nurse said that I had no weight restrictions and could lift heavy things and I told her "thank god, because I wanted to get back into weight-lifting". We all had a good laugh.
