Hello. My name is Jenny and I live on the NSW/Vic Border. I have gone to post in here a couple of times but backed out. Denial maybe? On Wednesday I was officially given the diagnosis of BC. I hav...
2nd chemo done and dusted. Unfortunately they were unable to draw blood from my port after almost 2 hours of trying. I told them I preferred to go intravenous rather than risk the chemo not going into a vein. Tonight will tell if meds they did put through port will actually work. Had a good friend drop me off and another sit with me through chemo. 4 hours went pretty fast. I have an appointment tomorrow morning with GP. She sent a message that she wanted to see me and added it's not urgent. She obviously picked up on my anxiety. Tomorrow arvo I have a portagram. Yep never heard of it either. Want to get this port sorted before next infusion. Did you all have light headedness straight after chemo? Both times I've had it. Hope all is good for you all. You have help make journey easier. Suffering from chronic anxiety, knowledge helps so much. PS. Hair started coming out last night. Charging up the shears to take it all back. Once that gets patchy will shave. PSS. Farewelled my step dad on Saturday. On the plus side I got time with my daughter & son and his wife and my grandson Oli.
