My port is scheduled to come out on Friday, June 22 -- one more day and I will be back at St. Mary's at another unGodly hour of 6:45 am. Surgery is scheduled for 8:15 and Dr. Knaysi will be removing the port.
I am not concerned. I know he will do a great job. I don't know how I feel about the local anesthesia though ... who really wants to know what is going on? I suppose it's no different from having a tooth extracted only this time someone is cutting into your chest. Well, it will soon be over and I look forward to being home by noon.
This will be the last remnant of my chemotherapy ... and although the scars will never go away, I know there will be days and weeks and then years when I don't think about this disease. Cancer has changed my life in so many ways and I know that nothing will ever be the same again. This new life is perfectly acceptable and I thank God for it.
