Rainy Day and More News

Today brings a couple of walks up and down the hall and a steady flow of clear liquids for a diet. Overall things areO going well. She certainly feels better than the last time. Not so much from the physical side but the fact that we have some better news sure does help with the spirits. The doctor was in this morning and again affirmed the news we reported yesterday. Some people we talked to maybe did not understand that the chemo will need to continue after the surgery is healed. This will be administered by her interparetaneal port which was surgically implanted during the procedure yesterday. So along with the long incision is one more of to the side. With this port they can administer the medication to the spots most affected. The way I understand this is the the adominal cavity will be be filled with the chemo drugs thereby reaching any organ affected. This will be used along with existing port they used for the previous chemo. The room she has is a little smaller than last time but at least it is private and the bed that we use when we stay to help is comfortable.
