Chemo here I go!

I was going to have a port inserted after about 12 lots of I.V. chemo but I changed my mind because it upset me too much. Just the thought of being in hospital again and restricting my exercise was just too much. Besides which I reckon I have enough foreign bodies inside me with my two implants.
Just as well I didn't have the port inserted because my I.V. chemo: Paclitaxel was stopped a couple of weeks later because of what it was doing to my nails.
Only the NUM in the oncology ward was able to insert a cannula without hurting me.
