Kathie went in to have her port put in this morning. The surgery was scheduled for 10:00 AM, but she didn't actually get in to the OR until about 1:15 PM. She was under a local anesthetic (not general anesthesia), and was awake the whole time. She was out of surgery by about 1:50 PM, and immediately asked for some food as she had been without any since midnight the night before.
She seems to have done well with the surgery, and is feeling fine.
She will have one more surgery on Friday of this week to remove some basal cell skin cancer from her face (as if the colon cancer wasn't enough of an issue). Then, we are hoping, that is it for the surgeries for awhile. The port takes about 7-10 days to "heal" in her system. So, that means chemo is still on track for Tuesday, July 10th.
