So sorry you have had to join us with BC, but you will find the support on this site is just amazing. I have finished chemo, and just wanted to tell you that your port-a-cath is your new best friend! After seeing others go through the routine of trying to find a usable vein each session, I was so thankful that with the port, the nurses just linked me up and away we went - no pain, no fuss, no problems. You will be given a patch to wear for an hour before you go in to treatment, and the port area will be numb. It makes life easier when we most need it.
I am in my 2nd week of radiotherapy now, and will have the port removed next month. I am on the Gold Coast and had my chemo at HOCA. The staff and the doctors are absolutely wonderful. It sounds like you have a great team also in Brisbane. All the best with your treatment - keep posting and let us know how you are going. Warmest wishes, Michelle xx
