Going Home and Port Appointment
Well, what a wonderful surprise…my sister, Karen, flew out from Washington, D.C. on Thursday night! It was fun to have everyone together. We are both going to be heading home tomorrow (Sunday).
I will be having a port put in on Monday at 9:30 am. I am really nervous about the whole procedure and don’t know really what to expect. I am not sure when chemo will begin and haven’t heard if the anti angiogenesis drug (avastin) has been approved or not. Sol did some research on Taxol and found that it has a history to be effective in treating angiosarcoma. That is such great news. I also found out that one of the side effects will be losing my hair again. I just got it back! 🙁 But, hey, if that’s the worst of it, then I’ll take that. I have enough hats to last a long time! 🙂
Thanks for your prayers and support as I begin a new battle this week. I really appreciate everything everyone has done for us!
Love,
Monica
