Picked up Mae and took her to the Agency. Had 5 vials of blood drawn at 10. Grabbed a scone so I could take pills.
Walked through the tunnels to Centennial Pavilion of VGH to see specialist about the clot on my Port-A-Cath.
Option 1: take the appliance out (I really like having it in)
Option 2: give myself daily injections of blood thinner until the port is taken out (yuck!)
Option 3: do nothing
We decided on 3 since the clot is small and I have regular CT Scans. I am to watch for any signs that it has gone to my heart. Fun. I am okay with this since the Agency is payins such close attention to what happens.
My monthly supply of pills wasn't at the pharmacy and they couldn't start chemo until that was sorted out. Delay was about an hour. Good thing I always have a good book and music.
Mae and Darline waited for me and I became their last therapeutic touch patient of the day. That was the perfect way to end. I then drove Mae home in the rain.
