I have lots I'd like to say, since I've learned a bunch of new things in the last couple of days, but I have a sore right chest from teh port that was put in today. I think I'm going to be glad in the long run that it is in there. But, right now I'm feeling sore enough that I'm glad to do nothings, so I am taking the opportunity of heavy duty pain killer to type a little here before I fall asleep.
The port was put in as out-patient surgery. Surgery is still surgery, with the IV the sedation, monitors, recovery, etc. I was admitted at 6 am and home at 10 am.
The type of port I had put in is completely under the skin and a special needle set up is put through the skin, into the port and medicine (primarily chemo) put in that way.
Anyway, I'm not quite up to a bright, shining post this evening, but I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow.

I'm glad that part is done and hope it serves you well. Just remember it's your body and you can listen to it. I chose to quit the chemo 6 mo. before my oncologist was ready for me to "according to the book". Anyway, that was 17 years ago and I don't think my body ever missed the final 6 mos. of chemo!
Take care.

Dear More Accessible,
This is such new territory for me to learn about. It does seem that a more direct route for the meds will be helpful.

Whatever it takes to get well
