POSTED BY FRANK...

Monday Oct.26th Radiation Appt. Kaiser Oyster Point all went well no issues Day 1 of 33. We went to Lowes and looked at Christmas decorations.
Then we went to my 11:00 Chemo therapy and the fun started. Just before we got their Kaiser Redwood City they lost all electric power to the complex. Then the generators kicked in to run the computers and the basic light systems. I was finally told the length of my first appointment 4 1/2 hours so after Marilyn picked up my meds at the pharmacy I was going to excuse her for the afternoon but then the auxiliary power went out which killed the computers. Then around noon the power came back on but smoke was coming out of the air conditioning vents. When that cleared up I sent Marilyn on her way for the afternoon. Then around 3:00 the nurse and I found out that in the morning the Radiation Doctor and My Oncologist had decided to change the procedures. But it had not yet got to the computer. So basically everything I was prepared for changed ( for the better) for me and that is a good thing. However now I am left with a Picc line in my arm that I no longer need and a E-Mail to the oncologist asking if it can be removed. I got out of their around 5:15 and went to my normal monthly meeting.
Day 2 I went to my Radiation treatment talked to the Dr. and Nurse about the change in procedure they said it would not effect them and that they were aware of it. No issues all good. Then we went to Mickey D's got usual breakfast and Monopoly game pieces and went home to relax for awhile. I still have not heard from my oncologist regarding the removal of the Picc line. However i did leave a message for the oncologist to call. Anyhow I have taken all my meds for the day and am heading to work soon.
