Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi Peggy: That's concerning. I don't have a super good understanding of porta- caths, but I don't think they dislodge too easily. Did you get any information about that? They will be able to tell right away at the appointment if it is not in the right place I think. This is the hardest time - not knowing what to expect, how it will all go, how she'll feel, what will happen etc. I found the weeks after treatment much easier with my mom because at least everybody knew what to expect. And now we have way more understanding and knowledge, and thought it is still very hard, it is not like it was before. Best of luck. You're a good sister.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Peggy, I hope she is ok. That is scary. Did they tell her any signs to look for problems? I'm sure she will be fine. I hope she has no side effects with the chemo. Sounds like she has a great caregiver in you. Remember, to take care of you and not to worry to much!(I know that is easier said than done. LOL) But try to enjoy your time together as much as possible. God will do the rest. Becky Beach caregiver to Jeff, diag 8/01 recurr 5/03 with liver and abd mets > HI,I HOPE ALL IS DOING WELL TONIGHT.
