Hi Kat09 and welcome to the best support site on the net. The best thing you could have done is have the port put in - it makes life so much easier for chemo - no problems with veins. So glad your initial CT scans were clear - such a big plus. I hope you continue to handle chemo so well - I had 12 weekly chemos after surgery back in 2012, but my tumour was 3.5cm or they would probably have tried to shrink it first too. I took the before-&-after meds and chemo was doable until the very last week when I became light-headed. After surgery, chemo & rads the good news is cancer-free for almost 5 years now. Just take things one day at a time, keep a file of all your treatments, reports and accounts (priceless later on) and be sure to get the My Journey kit from this site. We will all be here for you. Stay in touch with your progress. (Didn't have cold caps so can't help there!) xx Michelle
