Just another day at General Hospital
This morning I had a "port" consult. A port is a line that is surgically implanted in your chest so that it is easy to put all the IVs and drugs in. It saves wear and tear on the veins and the nurses. The procedure is pretty simple (for them anyway) and will be done in 2-4 weeks depending on operating room availablility.
This afternoon I had the MRI of my head. It took 20 minutes and was very loud with a lot of clanking and other non-medical sounds. The results will be over at the doctors in four days. I'll likely hear about them first from Dr. Taylor because she takes initiative and calls me. \Dr. Patterson will wait until the 26th for the appointment. I guess I'm hoping to hear that it is really responding to the radiation. I know I feel good enough for that to be true.
Tomorrow is a CT scan of my torso, including the area that had the lumpy lymph nodes around my collar bone. Hopefully the chemo got rid of those. I'll be happy when all these "staging investigation" tests are history.
