Oh Gayle, u sound like u certainly have had a lot to contend with. We all go thru these emotions so we understand and u will never feel alone coming here..
You will be thankful for the port, the soreness ur feeling there should ease soon, but it does take 2-3 weeks (i found anyway)..Did they give u anti nausea meds?? -i had Kytril-it was fabulous, i never felt sick, maybe ask about it.
I see u have a friend taking u to Sale, are they able to stay o'night so they are company for a little while the next day? or even ask another friend to visit on.
u will be suprised at ppl..often they want to help but don't how,so they will give you food or money, but make a list of things u could use support with and ask for specific things like being a travel buddy, childminding for ur son so u can have a quiet day to rest well, cooking some dinners for ur crap weeks...whatever u feel u need help with.
Things will settle down now that the diagnosos, scans and surgeries are done u can now get into a sort of routine of treatment..it is a nice feeling to know that ur then on the recovery trail, not twisting and turning from 1 place to another...
Look after urself and enjoy the awesome week-treat urself to a massage or movie, something u like to do. Its good to have something planned to look forward to.
Feel free to 'check me out' on here and make me a contact if u wish :)
Good luck for wed..u can tick off chemo no 2!!! Thats what u need to do, take each day at a time.if u feel like resting, then rest, its ur bodys way of telling u it is trying to get better as soon as it can..pushing urself too hard will only slow that process down.
