Port
Hi Steve,
I completely forgot to ask my new oncologist about getting a port. He has changed my treatment cycle a bit. He wants me to get my Vidaza shots in cycles every 4 weeks instead of 6 and he wants me to get aeranesp every week. I won't begin another Vidaza cycle until next week, but I will ask the treatment nurse about it when I get my aernesp on Thursday. I hope you are recovering. I'm a bit nervous about a port. I love to swim and it seems this will prevent me from doing that. I also just had a bone marrow test last week. I'm anxious to hear the results as I've been told that it's the only definitive test to see if the Vidaza is maintaining its effectiveness - should have those results in a couple of weeks. Please keep me posted on your progress and thanks for the info.
Kathy
