A little update :)

It does all seem like a blur at times. Those feelings you are having are all normal. I remember loving the days I could work as I could be Just Paula, not Paula the woman with breast cancer. I didn't have a port first time round and in hind site wish I did as my veins are trashed. Hence the need for a port the second time. It is a very simple procedure under the twilight anaesthetic. It was so funny when it was over I told them I was awake the whole time... They laughed at me and assured me I wasn't. I just remember hearing them talking and obviously drifted off and then heard them talking again. It really is a visit to twilight land. I still have my port two years on. I get it flushed every 6 weeks which takes a matter of minutes. The only reason I haven't had it out is that I am having more surgery and will get it out then. It has come in handy over the years. If I am due blood tests when I am getting it flushed the nurses in oncology take them through the port. Good luck with the procedure. The port makes chemo much easier. Take care. Paula :)
