I guess in my head I had a treatment path with a goal at the end - I didn't think too much about the speed bumps that crop up along the way. It upset my little apple cart!! Wow, don't know really about your journey Leonie, but you and your Husband both have / had cancer?? Wow. Speechless. How does your port turn around? Do you ever get itcy on your skin near the port? I've had an itch since my last treatment, kind of like a little rash type thing. Have you had that? Do they use straight needles on you? Or the ones with a little curve on the end? Sorry about all the questions, but I'm still learning... such a novice!
Anyway mate, trust you're travelling well, take care
