Finished my radiation for my shoulder bone metastasis today. When I was done, I received the mask as promised, a diploma, and a t-shirt. I literally did radiation and got the t-shirt!
Tomorrow morning is the chemo port surgery. I had one back in 2009 when I had chemo, and I had it removed afterwards, thinking I wouldn't need it again. This time, I guess, it's here to stay. The surgery wasn't too bad last time. The worst part for me is the anesthesia. I absolutely hate anesthesia. I've had other surgeries done with a local and they are much easier for me. I doubt there are any doctors who would believe me if I said I wouldn't freak out when they are inserting a tube directly into the main arteries going to my heart. Oh well. Hope this one goes smoothly because I have the biopsy Friday afternoon.
