With the news of the infection and the fact she had to see a wound specialist this was a week of disappointment for Nancy. She was on IV antibiotics all week. Until the wound heals she has to delay radiation treatments and so she has to prolong this phase.
When she is better she will have to start all over with the radiologist team and that means re-marking her for her treatments when she returns. The radiologist team had just "perfected" the procedure down to 45 minutes before the infection was discovered.
Initially we were expecting a 10 minute radiology treatment, but that did not happen. 45 minutes is a long time to have to lay still with your hands over your head while they radiate. However it was better than the two hours she had to lay still om several occasions as they mapped out her treatment.
It has been a blessing to have three nurses in our family and that allowed her to stay home for the IV antibiotics and wound treatment. Otherwise she would have had to go to the hospital. Our kids have been so supportive and we are very proud of all of them.
Thanks for all of the prayers, food, transportation. thoughts and flowers.
Bob
