Hi Jo - how did you go with the chemo treatment?
I like you are having 4 x 3 weekly sessions of chemo and I've opted for the IV. I had the option of the portacath but preferred not to have something permanently inserted if my veins can handle 4 sessions.
I had my first session last Friday and I was anxious, nervous, and scared! Terrifying feeling. It wasn't that bad afterward just the lack of taste takes some getting used to! There was this lady in the having her treatment when we were there and she had the portacath, but she was having 18 treatments in total. I would go this way if I were in the same position.
Hope you are doing well . . . .
