Hello again! I only have a minute but want to suggest that as you think of questions you write them down in some sort of journal you can keep with you. So you can ask them of the various doctors you will encounter and write their replies. It is so hard to keep it all straight otherwise. And it helps alot to have someone with you to hear the replies. Sometimes I was so full of fear that I could not hear straignt!!!
I recently had a port inserted. I had a few days of swelling and discomfort afterwards but that was unusual I think. It seems most everyone on this board have had very good resuts and are happy to have had the port installed. I wish I had done it at the beginning of treatment the way you are. Makes the process easier.
Keep the faith.
