This was tough for both Larry and I. Partly because I had decided not to do the chemo with my BC 3 yrs ago. We felt that we had bypassed a lot with my decision. Yet here we are back in the same situation but this time it is so much more serious and Larry's only chance for a remission.
I did however know a lot about ports. Made sure they were using the Power Port so that it will be easier for him during his cat scans. Asked around about the radiologists and who had the best experience with installing the ports. I am not shy in trying to get him the best of care.
Larry did opt out of the sedative, having just a local. I told him it was ok to get sedated. I would have. Yet he did not want to be drowsy and wanted to go home and grade papers-again looking out for someone else, this time his students.
The procedure went well and he had no pain. Hoping the no pain will continue over the week. Nurses, Doctor, staff were all wonderful.
I believe in angels and guardians. I asked his angels to go ahead of us and bless the surgical room and assist everyone in it so that it would go smoothly. They did a great job:)
Thanks, Phyllis for teaching me about angels.
Thank you for putting this journey into words, Melody. Your spirit and Larry's are powerful. "May the wind be at your back."
