Here I am! Thank you to the lovely ladies who have checked on me through private messaging.
Today was 3/4 of AC. This time it made me incredibly tired. Fell asleep within minutes of getting home. I usually spend the rest of the day drinking water and flushing everything out. Will be doing that tonight with the help of Netflix.
The port in my arm has been more drama than it's worth for me. Not only does it hurt when I bump it but the chemo girls cant draw any blood so wont risk it with the AC. There were plans which involved chemo room to have clip fitted then find my way across the other side of town for a "portagram" (prefer a stripagram), take printed proof back to chemo room where they will be more confident with doing chemo through port. I've been stewing on the process the past weeks and it wasnt doing my head good. Onc agreed with my idea, only 2 chemos left (including today) so let's just do intravenous. Confirmed no other chemo after that but time to have app with Rad Onc to be prepared when the time is ready.
I hope all of you wonderful ladies are in a good place. Jen xxx
