We met with the surgeon today. She will be inserting the port on Monday. It is an outpatient procedure and mom should be home later that day. I really liked her. She specializes in breast surgery. She explained things very well and took the time to listen. Everyone so far has been super caring.
Mom is scheduled for the liver biopsy on Friday. Also an outpatient procedure. She needs to lay flat for 2-4 hours after the procedure. Dad said that he plans to go to the library to get audio books to listen to in the hospital waiting rooms. I guess the audio book idea wasn't so bad afterall. The real question will be how much of the book will he miss because I know that he will dose off at some point.
We should have all of the results from all of the tests when we see Mr. Margolis on Thursday next week.
Keeping all of you in our hearts and prayers. I pray that God will illuminate the surgeons and guide them as they remove the cancer. Ida is a wonderful, warm and loving woman and I loved her the minute I met her. Love, peace and stength to all of you. Sending hugs, Gina
ReplyDeleteMy mom had a port for years. It was a GODSEND! No more pokes all of the time for drawing blood, IV's, or anything else. The procedure was pretty quick and there wasn't a lot of pain afterwards.
