Thank you so much!  They used the port to draw the blood and there wasn’t pain!  Apparently they use a numbing spray to numb the skin before poking the needle into the port.   That would’ve been good to know last night, so that I wasn’t so scared about it.  I couldn’t look while they drew the blood, but what I saw before it started was what looked like a tack!  I know that sounds strange.  I thought so, too!  It connects straight into the port and sort of locks on.  Kind of a strange feeling.  It was so awesome!  I really liked not having them search for a vein.  I think this port thing is going to be so worth the pain of the past week in the long run!

Sol’s aunt, Robin, called me this morning to see if she could come visit.  It was such a blessing to have her here to cry with, talk with, and shop with.  She shared many inspiring stories with me including the miracle of her husband who has beat this cancer beast!  I really enjoyed my day with her and know that God brought it together to bless us both!  Thanks, Robin!

Tomorrow is Chemo.  I am already having a bit of anxiety about it.  I will only have one drug tomorrow, so I hope to have fewer side effects on Friday.  Thank you for all your prayers and support…I’ll keep you posted.

Love,

Monica
