Just to let you know, Dad's port (the source of the blood infection) was removed on Tuesday. They had hoped to put in a new port of Friday and send him home this morning. However, after taking another culture on Thursday, it began to grow the bacteria again and by 3:00 am Friday morning they cancelled the surgery. He is now on more antibiotics and the surgery is planned for Monday with a trip home planned for Tuesday morning.
He feels really good and looks good too. Next chemo (#3) is scheduled for this coming Thursday. I will let you know if that changes. Hopefully, we will get the new port in and be ready to go. Dr. Becdach informed us that he could do the next round through an IV if he needed to, so that is good to know. I will be calling MD Anderson on Monday and try to get word to Dr. Tsao about everything that has taken place.
