Post Surgery

Port Surgery @ Riverside Medical Center

  • Gina had her port put in by Dr Brockman this morning
  • Dr Brockman told me all seemed well with it (we even were ahead of schedule with surgery - around 9:10 am instead of scheduled 10:30 am)
  • The port will help to ease pain with Chemo Therapy IV injections
  • Gina also had the shot on Wednesday last week so, once gain, she is wearing her Superwoman cape and staying strong with a smile on her face against all the adversity she has been up against!
  • Doctors and nurses both stressed many time for Gina to rest, Rest, REst, RESt, REST!

Keep those prayer lines coming they are working and getting our Gina healthy and kicking that cancer in the A-@#! Thanks again for all your support and Love!!!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the e-mails, cards, and phone calls, yes I'm resting :)

Riley and I caught the flu so that has put us both down. The snuggling I'm getting from this warm 10 year old miracle sure puts the aches and pains to sleep.

The port surgery went awesome, and the site is healing, I'm bouncing back from the "chemo" and feeling like myself - ready to go out and dance on the tables :)

I just wanted to express to everyone that Dr. Sipahi and the nurses and staff of his office are great - they gave me plenty of information, and lots of the great care that they give everyone. A BIG thank you to them, as they make even the roughest roads smooth!

God's Blessings to you all - thank you :-)

Gina, We have not forgotten about you...I logged on for the first time in a couple months. You have been very busy it seems, getting well!!! I'm glad to hear Dr. Brockman did your port. He was great with us when I had my breast cancer. You know we are here if you need us. We had some family things going on in November and trying to get back in the swing of things, after the holidays. I will call you soon or just stop by. Take care and know you are always in our prayers! :)Rhonda and family

Love ya! Gina
