Hi Glenine

My port is a little better. It seems that the scar is trying to open up so the skin is very very thin. I had a mastectomy with receonstruction so my implant is pulling on the area. I am also on Avastin and is reduces the bodies ability to repair itself so the incision is taking longer to heal. My doc told me to wear sports bras to bed for extra support and to keep a square of silver nitrate on it to help it heal. the silver nitrate is pretty cool. It looks like a shiny piece of material. It contains an antibiotic and herbs to facilitate healing.

Other than that, I had my 9 treatment in 9 weeks so I am tired.

How R U?
Love, Debi
