the bandages. they took weeks to fall off. as the nurses told her they would.

she wouldn't even look at the port, just off to the side like it wasn't even there.

The bandages finally krinkled up and fell off. She still won't get the port area wet. .

Good luck and my thoughts are with you on tomorrows PET scan.
