Sweet Jesus, having your port accessed is no joke. I
didn’t watch, but N. did and told me how long the needle was. ::shudder:: That
was not pleasant. I was trying to suck it up and see if I could do it … Nope! I
have Lidocaine cream now to put on before they access my port for the Avastin
infusions. Yesterday, the infusion was given over 60 minutes; my infusions
going forward will be over 30 minutes. That means no more bed for me; I’m
hoping that I at least get a reclining chair to nap. I could hardly make it
through the appointment with my oncologist because I got radiated beforehand.
My routine has been about the same every weekday –
nothing new to report really. I get radiated and then I take a
lot of naps … with the boy kitty. The girl kitty is not much of a snuggler,
but she decided to grace me with her presence yesterday afternoon.
One thing I've noticed is that I don't seem to have a meat aversion this time like I did the first go round.
16 more treatments to go after today!
