| Whoops.....Mom pulled out her Groshong Catheter! | Views: 140 |
Mom’s blood cells weren’t quite up to what they needed to be but they decided to give her the chemo anyway. As usual, Mom needed to use the restroom while she was getting chemo. She caught on one of her tubes while in the restroom and pulled her Groshong Catheter out of her chest! It didn’t hurt, it didn’t bleed much and it wasn’t as catastrophic as we thought. She is scheduled to have a port put in next week. They say the port is a more long term option since it is surgically inserted under the skin and there is no risk for her to pull it out and the risk for infection is lower.
She has another PetScan tomorrow and we get the results of the scan on April 1st! We’re crossing our fingers for good results but worried at the same time.
