If you knew then, what advice would you give to someone about to start Chemo? Im in Tassie
Hi everyone. Sorry for the long post in advance..... sooo this is my story. Im 32 years old. I was talking in bed with my boyfriend and went to lay on my back and something pinched in my right breast....
Ports don't need any attention between treatments, as a general rule. Ask when you go in for your first chemo.
The other thing to be mindful of regarding ports is that most pathology services still don't have staff trained to use them. If yours works well and you want to use it to draw bloods prior to treatment, you may want to make arrangements with the oncology staff to have it done in that unit.
