Today I had the port catheter implanted into my chest. We were there by 7am and out by 11am. It was general anethesia and about a 20 minute operation. They had to X-Ray my chest to make sure my lungs were not punctured (which apparently is possible) when they inserted the catheter. I am exhausted and will be sleeping for the rest of the day. Monday I meet with Dr. O'Reagan and have a PET CT Scan to determine if the cancer has spread, then should start chemo later in the day.

I'm thinking this disease has no idea who it chose to mess with, huh?
It's been years since we spoke, but I still remember the tough, funny, sparkling person you were when we met freshman year of high school, and I have no doubt the years have made you even more resilient and strong. You are a cancer's-ass-kicking kind of woman, you know.
I'll be thinking good thoughts and sending them your way.
Hey Laura it's HAM---
I just talked to Tab and got an email from Steve. I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. I know you will fight it and kick it.
I really want to hop on a plane and come help you. I am so glad your mom is there with you. Hang tuff and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I will keep in touch.
Love YA--HAM

Hey Laura--
Tonight I will say my prayers over and over again that tomorrow goes ok for you. This has probably been the longest weekend of your life and tomorrow as well.
I will be thinking of you all day tomorrow. Again I wish I could be there for you to help you out, but since I can't I will be with you in spirit.
Love-- HAM
Hey Lowa,
I wanted to call you tonight to wish you luck tomorrow, but it was too late your time. I'll be sending good energy your way. I'm still working on getting a flight out...
Laura,
I am so sorry to hear the news.You always had such strength, which I always admired about you. I know we haven't spoken in years, but it seems like yesterday when you walked down the aisle to get your diploma with your head wrapped in gauze. You didn't cry, but we all were! We love you and will be sending you all of our positive energy and thoughts your way!
love, Shawn
Laura,
We haven't spoken in years, but I have fond memories of the time I spent with you in Georgia. I had a great time with you except for your dog peeing on everything I owned. I can't believe cancer thinks it can pick on you. You are a tough gal who runs marathons for fun. I look forward to you kicking some cancer ass and making a full recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
gawd--the dreaded PORT! i have so many stories about my port. i even saved mine after they removed it (after my body had grown around it and they had to CUT IT OUT with no anesthesia, just a regular office visit in the early a.m. with my husband, and he almost fainted it was so gross).
