Seeing the Oncologist 1 year after Completion of Cancer Treatment So last Friday Greg had to go for a CT Scan with contrast on his chest and his abdomen.  His oncologist was checking to see if the cancer was still gone 7 months since his Pet Scan that revealed he was cancer free.  We held our breaths all weekend.   Many of you know that I lost my brother to a fatal car accident on June 5th.  We are all still reeling from this tragedy.  We had put off this CT Scan by 3 months because Greg was

This is the post content A Nurse made a weird and terrible mistake today Please pray it doesn't cost my husband his life. A nurse made a bad mistake this morning. She put blood she drew from Greg's port back into his body through his port. She may have introduced bacteria directly into his blood stream. The hospital is flipping out about it. She told my husband at 4 am while she was putting the blood back in that she "doesn't like to waste blood." My husband said that it was done even before he
