@Sister I had my first chemo session on 17th Jan after having the portacath inserted a couple of hours before. I felt pretty awful for the first four-five days with extreme tiredness, nausea etc but feel I didn’t manage the nausea as well as I could have to get on top of it. I’ve had some pretty good days since then. My next chemo is 7th Feb so I will get on top of the nausea next time. My portacath has been sore but seems to have settled down and not as obvious. I will have my second chemo through the portacath. No option for me as I had an axillary clearance so they can only use one arm atm and veins aren’t so good in that arm. Best of luck with your first chemo, you’ll be ok. It was so good for me to cross one off the list!! Take care. Maureen
