4 down- 2 left
Had my fourth treatment on Monday the 8th. Everything went well, had alittle trouble with my port. Had a good blood return but getting fluids in was alittle tough. The nurse said sometimes a little clot can form inside the port which makes it hard to push fluids in. But between the nurse, and my sister(whose also a nurse ) they got the needle in the right spot, and we were good to go! feel really good today, hope this continues through the week. Went to see my surgeon today for my 3 month check up. everything is healing according to plan, I should be on track to get my reconstruction 4-6 months after my radiation which should end sometime mid May. My skin will need time to heal. Which puts it September at the earlist, which would be a nice birthday present, or November at the latest. It's a littler long than I hoped but what can ya do? I Starting having hot flashes ever since my 3rd treatment. The Dr. said the chemo could chemically put me into a early menopause, but once I stop the chemo my cycle's should go back to normal. I figure well, I have a jump start on the hot flashes I might as well keep going. I don't want to start this crap all over again in a few years. So we will see what happens.
