And, it is not that the PICC line is uncomfortable or causes me a little pain, it is the fact that I am DONE... FINISHED... with making sure my body is Staph Infection Free. In fact, this last week is being used as a redundant measure just to make sure.
I talked with my Home Health Nurse on Monday and asked her if she could arrange to remove my PICC line on Wednesday rather than Thursday because I am meeting with my Oncologist to be told when my Cancer treatment will return.
If I have an infusion on the 13th of August, it will be two months since I had my last one and while my CT scan done when I was hospitalized showed NO GROWTH, it was done without a contrast dye so it is possible it could have missed something. And, since OPDIVO is used against Melanoma and Melanoma has invaded my body 3 times and has done so aggressively, I don't want to wait any longer than I absolutely have to.
On the positive side of my STAPH Infection, I have lost weight and instead of being 250 +/- , I am now 225 +/- which is better for my heart so I need to maintain this weight or loose a little more in that I would like to be at 205.
