The doctor called up my mom the other day, and said they have to redo the operation because upon seeing the x-ray, he wasn't happy with the placement. Of course my mom's feeling low because she'll have to go through the whole thing all over again. Whether it's a mistake or not, I'm just happy that the doctor cared enough to say, "Hey, that's not right!" and is acting on it. That will definitely prevent complications along the way. So we'll go to PGH again tomorrow, this time, at the UP FMAB, which is a private medical center inside the PGH compound. Sadly, surgical redos happen and are part of the journey, and let me tell you, this isn't a walk in the park.
The youtube video above is a glimpse of the chemo journey of a brave lady who calls herself "bizzybeaver". She's taking chemo from a portacath (that's the portacath on her chest).
