The next step(s)

On January 4th, she will have her Infusaport removed. For a quick recap, that was the tube placed just under her skin that went directly in to one of her veins so they don't have to stick her each time they need to when she came in for chemo treatments, they would just stick her once and be done with it. It should be a short procedure and hopefully little down time. From there it is just visits to Dr. Caracione, the chemo doctor, for checkups. The will probably be done something in the timeframe of a checkup every 3 months for the first year, every 6 months for years 2-5 and then once a year, years 6-10. I will post a better schedule once I know one...
