Well, quick update. Mom will get a visiting nurse every week to inspect the picks plus she will teach us how to flush them everyday. She has to go back to the doctors for a shot as well as weekly bloodwork but she does not feel any pain right now(she has inflammatory breast cancer). Since the chemo yesterday, she feels like a million bucks and is eating a lot.
Praise God!!! Thank you for the update. Prayers continue...
The fact that she has an appetite and is eating is great news!
Don’t worry too much about what happened to the port. I had to have my port removed, too, after the very first chemo treatment because the port caused a massive infection, and it put me in the hospital for a week. After they removed the port, they placed a picc line in my arm, too, and I found that I preferred the picc line over the port. Flushing the picc line became second nature after a while.
Saying another prayer for your mom and you...
