Need port replacement
After a round of Keflex antibiotic followed by another 7-day series of Bactrim, still appear to have a low-grade infection in the area around my right-side port. Dr. Fitzpatrick, the surgeon who inserted the original port 10/8/08, decided I needed a new port installed on the left side. As soon as he gets back from the Boston area where he's watching his son complete in lacrosse this coming weekend, he'll schedule the out-patient procedure. The old one will be taken out, discarded, the area cleaned and sewn back up. Good thing I no longer wear low-cut blouses. Am headed to Weinberg this afternoon in 78 degree weather for a blood draw to check my numbers. Next avastin scheduled for 4/21/11 followed by a CT scan. A dear friend of Lloyd's and mine, Bill Dawson, died last Thursday of multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood that also took my mother in 1956.
