TBone Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi everybody, Turns out I didn't get my chemo port today.I had never been to this surgeon before and he wanted to examine me and my records.I liked him a whole bunch.He is going to schedule the procedure as soon as he can.He likes to do it in an operating room because of the increased sterility.I still have a bone scan scheduled for tomorrow and will get the results on Friday.Hopefully it will show what is causing my leg pain.Praying for us all.TBone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyCW Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 TBone, I'm really glad you like the surgeon. I hope the bone scan shows only good news and points the way to get rid of your leg pain.

Tiny Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 T-Bone- My hope is that the bone scan does NOT show any evidence of mets, but I DO hope you achieve some relief soon. So glad you like the surgeon; little considerations like doing a procedure in the most sterile conditions can be very meaningful when dealing with this dratted disease...you need everyone in your corner that you can get, and he sounds like he is a GOOD one to have! Thanks for the update and good vibes and prayers being sent your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 May that leg pain be some darn crawdad attached to your "nether region" and may this surgeon know just how to remove crawdads... Glad you like him, that's important! Take care, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hey, TBone, Good to hear from you. Glad you like your surgeon. It helps!! Good luck on your scan tomorrow -- I hope the pain is something not serious that can be addressed in a simple straightforward way. I'm really glad you all had such a great vacation. Enjoy that fish some for me. Praying for us all, MaryAnn XOXOXOXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Lamb Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi T- Bone,So glad you think highly of your surgeon.That is very important.I too think very highly of my surgeon as well which is lucky cause I was diagnosed at a time when we had no insurance at all.I had to go thru the VA and there was no choice of drs.You got who you got and I was really lucky.Good luck tomorrow.

J.C. Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Tbone, Glad you like your surgeon, and hope you get good results. For the leg pain, watch for sciatica, my husband had such a pain and was sure it was mets, but no, just old sciatica, just had to change pocket for his wallet and the pain was gone inside a few days. xo J.C.

karen335 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hey T, Let's hope the leg pain is only a little arthur sneaking up on you. I'll be praying for clean scans... Blessings, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 T-Bone, I am so glad you like this surgeon and the idea of a sterile environment is one I like. Like the others I hope the leg pain is not related to any of this horrible disease and something you can cure with the right pill or changing your wallet. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

TAnn Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi T-Bone, Well, if you are like me, you probably were a little disappointed in not getting your port. You probably had yourself psyched-up for it and now you have to dread it all over again. That has happened to me on more than one occassion, usually due to miscommunication. In the end, it all works out for the best. Good luck with the port placement and I pray that they have good news on the bone scan. Will be watching Friday for the update!

kimblanchard Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Prayer going out right now. I read enough of your posts to feel like I know you a little. Sure hope for good news on Friday. Jim and Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
