Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thank you Janet. I appreciate your concern. I will be going in at 6am for a 7:30 start...first patient. I love being first. Hahaha I've never had the attention of two surgeons at one time before. Hope they like each other. Lol Unless they have to actually "go in" I should be in and out like a cat in a cat door. Otherwise he said overnight at least. I am on a liquid diet today so I won't be able to do the things I like best today........EATING! Lol Praying for each of you that are having treatment today or or not feeling up to running a mile or two...(that would include me.) Hugs Trisha -- Re: Trisha I haven't been getting some emails, especially from Trisha. I had to go to the website to read hers. Possibly some others too, but I just needed to let Trisha know that I'll be praying for her about surgery on Wednesday. I hope they can do it arthroscopicly also. Mine was back before the new surgery techniques and it took me six weeks to recover. Good luck Trish. Janet/WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Janet I have the same problem with my veins. They are practically non existent and when they are they are pretty good swimmers too. I'll bet good money that my onc will have a port installed before it's all over with. But since my problem is in the RIGHT arm and the cancer was on the LEFT.... Would that still be lymphedema? Now I am worried! DRAT! Do the problems ever STOP???!!! Hugs, Trisha -- Trisha I didn't know how lucky I was, but hearing about your arm I am very glad the nurses always ask me which arm. I should have had a port put in. I go weekly for blood tests and it was so cold outside she had to get a heating pad to warm my arm up enough to see the veins. I make sure they know that I have hard veins to find and sometimes they squirm around once they find them.Gee, please get better and call your doctor tomorrow. I was warned about lymphedema but didn't get it. When the dr did lumpectomy they had every new dr and nurses ask me which breast it was. And they wouldn't leave until the next nurse had answered and said so. They were transferring me to the OR from a waiting cell.Love, hugs and prayers,Janet AIDC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Trisha, I have never heard of anyone having lymphedema on the opposite side. I would definitely talk to the onc about it.
