So today was first chemo
Mild anxiety last night - reminded myself I’ve seen babies given the same drugs I can handle it if they can.
Met with Onc went well, I liked that I clarified intent is to cure and that cure is possible. I’ve never actually asked that, only about survival rates etc and lots of other detailed questions
But then it takes 5 attempts and over an hour of cannulating to get a very small vein on the side of my arm.
So I asked again about a port (I asked pre chemo and was told too high risk for 8 cycles)
theyve agreed for a port woo hoo!!
