Well, I just found out recently that I must have surgery to place a port on my chest as it will make getting the chemotherapy a little easier on my veins. My Oncologist was checking me out Friday and said that my vein in my left arm was hardened (the first time anything has been hard in awhile...I know bad joke) from the chemicals...so I will do this and it will save the rest of my veins, I heard that the veins will heal in time so thats good I guess. I also just started losing my eyebrow hair, thats weird. The doc said that other hair will also follow suit, wow, thats reassuring huh?

Its not like I dont look bad enough already. LOL!

I think my biggest worry is I really dont like the idea of having someone cut into me and attaching something to a major artery, even though it is a 'routine' deal, still I have many qualms about this procedure. In any case I should know the exact date in about a week or so, maybe by next Thursday for sure.

I just wanted to thank everyone for excepting my friend requests, it means alot to me...its not about the number its about the quality. All of you are very important to me even though I know I don't post on blogs that often, i do try. Some of you I have known for many years and others more recently, but thank you for putting your trust in me and please dont hesitate to drop me a line from time to time as I will always reply...

Some pics of Quasimodo for everyones amusement...

As you all can see, I have lost a considerable amount of weight since the last pics I posted awhile ago (I think I lost like 40 pounds in 5 months - without trying to).
