Chemo starts
Hi everyone, well my portacath is in and wasnt as bad as I expected. Just like you all told me. Its not my best friend yet but guessing that comes later. Chemo starts on Wed. Feels like its been such...
Thanks for all your info it is invaluable to have some insight into what is going to happen. I spoke to my oncologist today about my port site being still a bit sensitive. She said that mine is just under the skin and not too deep so it shouldnt be a problem but if it is proving too hard they will leave it and try in a few days time. Its good to know that but I think that i will just bathe in emla cream and take some painkillers and go do it. Rather have the first one out the way as soon as possible. Also i have been only giving the emla cream an hour to work so 3 hours will numb the site much better. Hope that you are feeling a little bit better, stay strong, we can do this = will let u know how i go luv Suex
