I will no longer have a port a cath planted inside of me. I wrote my story before, I think, but the port a cath refused to work yesterday, and they took three tubes of blood from the side of my right arm. So, the oncologist said that it had served it's purpose, and needed to be removed. It was inserted surgically in April of 2000. It is to be taken out 12-11-2010. I will no longer be going every three months to have it flushed. I will only be seeing the doctor once each year. I just had to hug him. He loves the same Lord that I do.
