Hi aryhaven,
Yes when they say full body scan, OMG did my brain go into overdrive.... this is a normal process after speaking to so many others. Great news all clear.
Happy to see you wrote what cancer it was.. exactly that.WAS........
Next step is to just have treatment to mop up anything that can’t be seen ( really piece of mind). But it’s what we do to kick this to the curb for good.
I’m happy to see they are giving you a three week break in between AC, that will give your body a better chance of recovery and you will feel so much better before next dose.
My treatment from day of diagnosis, two lots of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy was exactly one year.

Most of us are different so don’t be overwhelmed by my one year.
It went rather quick, just remember one day at a time.
Strongly suggest that someone drops and collects you from treatments. You are allowed one person to sit and stay with you if you wish.
I couldn’t drive during chemo, I drove myself to a few radiotherapy appointments earlier at the start, but I was fortunate enough to have my husband home to assist in driving as I was about an hours drive from the hospital.
Definitely take someone with you to Oncologist appointment as there is a lot of information to absorb , it’s nice to have a second set of ears.
Start writing questions down that you would like to ask.
Great that your port is done , you have been very proactive.
All the best for tomorrow, don’t be scared of the Oncologist, they are on your side to kick this to the curb for good.
They will monitor you closely throughout your treatment.
You will be sent home with information, take time to read it when you’re home and able to.
Any questions we are all here to help you through.
You are not alone.
