Nervous about Port

I haven't blogged for a while because I have had a few set backs and didn't really want to keep reliving them or scare anyone by a rant.

Prior to my fourth chemo which was my first Docetaxel I had to have a PICC line inserted but three days aftert my whole arm swelled up and I ended up in hospital.  Very scary for me and had to wait until Monday to have ultrasound.  It was discovered that I had a DVT in my arm so now I have to self inject a blood thinner for the next three months.  The PICC had to be removed and this Wed I am going into hospital to have Port inserted ready for Thursday's chemo (2nd last one). 

I am very apprehensive and nervous that my body will reject the port and I will have another difficut situation to get through.

I am trying very hard to challenge my negative thoughts about this but it is easier said than done.

Prior to my discharge from hospital when the PICC was removed I was told that they would ring me to set up an appointment with my oncologist to work out what they were going to do so that they could continue on with my chemo treatment.  They didn't and after a week of waiting I had to chase it up.  This all makes me very nervous.

I am more anxious now than when I started chemo.  My anxiety is more to do with what could go wrong once I am home.
