Welcome Family and Friends to "What's the latest with Sara! " blog !

Since I have been diagnosed with breast cancer, I have been told numerous times that I am on a journey. I have known for almost that long that I am not alone on the journey. I learned quite awhile back that what happens to one also impacts all of those in that person's life in varying degrees.
The purpose of this blog is to allow you to check in whenever you have the time to see what the latest is. I know that I need you-your love, prayers, testimonies, and support. I am richly blessed with loving, caring, amazing family and friends. I am so grateful for you. Thank you for your part on this journey.

The Port Is In!

Wednesday, March 19th I had surgery to have the port put in.  It is under the skin below my collar bone.  The purpose of it is to receive the chemo treatments and to take blood samples.  No more "pokes" in the arm-nor bruises there. Yeah!  So another success.   Thursday I tried Ibeprophen instead of the prescription pain meds, but in the evening I went back to the prescription-but just one tablet. Friday back to Ibeprophen.
Before the surgery I had been feeling better and was concerned that I would be back to square one, but I actually am not.  I don't feel great, but I feel better and stronger that I did after the first surgery which was weeks ago.  Suzanna and Shawn accompanied me to the hospital.  Benjamin and SE came in the evening and Suzanna and SE stayed with me until Thursday afternoon.
I do well, but get really "wiped out" easily and have to have a nap to feel better.  Ahhhhhhh!  The miracle of sleep!!!
