This morning, I had two MRIs (results next week, basically trying to see if the stuff in my spine is arthritis or cancer) and got word from my insurance case manager that my treatment plan (chemo) had been received and certified, so I'll be starting that next week!
I also continue to ask the hospital billing department(s) many, many questions, and everyone is very patient about answering and helping me understand how it works (it's all very strange and confusing but there have been no surprises so far and everyone's been super helpful).
The port site is looking good, just a little achey, not painful. It's normal-red, and will probably look even better tomorrow. I have a little peanut-shaped pillow to use in the car so the seatbelt doesn't rub against the port, and it's very helpful. The nurse navigator (at the hospital I'm going to I have a nurse navigator who is my main point of contact and sort of follows my treatment and handles all my scheduling. It's amazing.) gave it to me when we met for the first time. I've also sewn a smaller one to attach to my purse so I have it in case I'm in a different car.
I have to get better about drinking water.
