IMPORTANT HEALTH RELATED MESSAGE 4:
Yday, i had my first outpatient cancer doc appt. They unloaded so much info on me it left me pretty scatter brained for a few hrs after and needed a bit to relax lol. At least I didn't have to do a bl00d transfusion since I didn't have to do 1 Sunday, but they still drew bl00d for updated labs, which is fine.
There's just more that's happened too. Like, next steps. To sum it up; a port in my chest vein so they don't gotta prick me all the time/ so I can take IV any time (even at home, which will be needed in the future....), and the port takes like a week to heal under a dressing/ coat, then it can be free. And since the port is IN the chest vein, it'll be easy to shower with, etc. Don't need to be put to sleep to put it in. Just numbing cream on the site and maybe 'a little something to put you in a don't care type of twilight' lmfao, never done that, I think, so that'll be a new experience.
The next thing is a spinal tap.
So those 2 are gonna be future appts
Then there's the big doozy..... there's a IV med my cancer doc says will help bind my T killer cells to only cancerous cells to bomb them. But leave the good, mature useful cells alone. Sounds great! But I will be inpatient for 9 to 12 days at the hospital AGAIN at some point in the future to make sure no side effects. (Remember i was inpatient for 9 days from 6/11 to 6/20. So pretty much that amount of time and a little something more days after). Then a Fannie pack of that IV med for home (can take off Fannie pack and the IV line will be just long enough for bath and shower and sleep). Idk if she said for 28 days then 14 day break then again for until they say no more, or what. But yeah. Lots to wrap my head around, but I don't really have a choice
Im not sure when the future inpatient hospital stay will take place. Could be a month from now or months. My cancer doc has to get it approved by my medicaid. And the hospital stay will come well after those other 2 appts for the chest vein port and spinal tap (or mayb
