NEW PHOTO and UPDATE

As you can see I changed the photo for my blog. This was taken at Christmas time of all the Tompkinson males in my life. Aren't they the best looking group of males?! I cannot beleive that it has been so long since I last posted. I had my port removed on December 1st! It was done in the doctor's office with a local anesthetic, was a little uncomfortable but not painful. I asked the doctor if he could please make the incision look better than it did before and he said he would try. Not sure, but I think it is a little better. I had my first 3 month check-up on January 31st and all was well. I still have some lasting effects of the chemo - dry & irritated eyes, neuropathy in hands and aches and pains in my upper body - shoulders, arms, back. Evidently there is something called post-chem Rheumatism! Anyway, I started a medication for the neuropathy, Lyrica, and although it does not seem to be helping the neuropathy in my hands, it has really helped the aches and pains in my upper body. I hope all is well with all of you. Much love, Theresa
