Hi all,
We got some news yesterday. Natalia will do her regular clinic and chemo on the 29th and then we will all head up to San Francisco on January 12th. Natalia will have surgery at 7:30am on the 13th to insert her permanent port. They need to keep her overnight to make sure there is no infection but after that she will be poke free. Whenever they need to draw blood or give her an IV or injection (she currently gets poked twice every 2 weeks) they will just hook up to the port and there ya go. This is going to take so much stress off of her. While she is not afraid of needles they are really beginning to hurt and because she was on the steriod for so long her veins are weak and collaspse easily. This is just one more step on our journey and we feel it is a truely positive one. They were not willing to even discuss a port 2 months ago because they weren't sure she would be doing this well. Well look out cancer, Natalia is kicking butt.
Love to you all,
Roni
