Lobular carcinoma first chemotherapy today

Oh yay. If I hadn't been offered one at my first med onc appointment, I  would have asked for one. But the onc kinda looked at my arms and got in before I did,  lol. The only good thing that oncologist did for me! Accepted my care, admittedly as a public patient,  at at the end of that appointment .... oh, by the way, I'm off on 3 months long service leave, you won't see me again until you've finished treatment.
I now have a different medical oncologist 

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!!
