CT scan results

Wrapped up chemo treatment #10 Thursday 6/4 and got a copy of my CT scan results. The lower neck and breast parenchyma were "unremarkable." A 2x2cm soft tissue mass is in the right pericardium and a new .9cm nodule adjacent. Lungs clear. Spleen, liver, pancreas, adrenal glands and kidneys are normal. There is a 1.5cm lymph node in the lesser sac which is stable. So basically I'm either stable or unremarkable, two things Dr. Im felt were good. We're continuing chemo treatments 11 and 12 and then will reevaluate whether I can take a chemo break. Never thought I'd find one of my favorite words to be "unremarkable" but that means there is nothing to remark about. And that's good.

Couldn't use my port this week because I noticed a whitish pocket along the incision. Greenish yellow crap came out when I pushed on it. Cleaned area with iodine and put on bandaid. So nurse Elaine gave me chemo/magnesium via an IV into my left arm instead of using port. Put me on antibiotics. Have an appointment tomorrow morning with port surgeon to see what caused infection.
