Chemo during stress

Started treatment #7 of Taxol 2/19/09 at Weinberg. Nurse Joanne, who transferred from Mercy's 7th floor chemo ward to the outpatient treatment center in December, got my case. Both lumens in my port didn't draw blood so she put in TPA, which is supposed to break up the blood which probably coagulated, and let it sit in each line. After the 30 minutes, she got blood from the medial (inside) lumen so sent my blood down for lab work. After an hour, the lateral (outside) lumen also cleared. So I had my two lines because, as usual, my magnesium was low, and I needed 2 hours' worth of magnesium (4 grams). Added stress is Saturday morning's upcoming memorial service for Lloyd.
