Third Round On Board

My blood counts were good enough that I got my chemo today. Yippee! I saw my oncologist and we chatted about the second opinion and she nodded in agreement. She seemed genuinely disappointed that I didn't have more progress pictures to show her today, but I'll be sure to load up the iPad next round. The drip wasn't ridiculously long today, but it does take some serious time (5+hours).

I was a little nervous going in because the skin over the tube attached to my port is red and irritated. The nurse that accessed me (hooked up to my port to draw blood) didn't seem too worried because "it doesn't look like an infection". My infusion nurse was more worried and thought the doctor might put me on antibiotics. When the doctor came around she told me to put vaseline on it and keep an eye on it. If it isn't better, I am to go see the surgeon who put it in. The good news is that I already have an appointment with him next week, so I'm all set (for once!).
