Hi @Jennie_Lou
It hasn't been easy for you. Keep your eyes on the prize, though. These difficulties you are having will pass. I'm really sore that the port placement hasn't been straightforward. It sounds awful what you have been through, but keep the faith. One way or another you will get the medicine. Will they retry port placement at some stage?
Your treatment plan sounds good. The first four treatments over two months sound like AC (dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide). This will probably be the hardest part of your treatment. Try and get some rest, try and get some exercise, and keep reminding yourself that this is only for a few short weeks.
I don't know of a Brisbane meetup group. Perhaps there is someone else at your hospital on a similar treatment plan. The breast care nurse would usually pair you with them. What part of town are you in? There are a few of us on here from Brisbane.
Has anyone spoken to you about exercise Physiology? I know you have a hundred things to deal with right now, but I would have loved to know about this beforehand. https://www.pearexercisephysiology.com.au/cancerexercise.html
