Re: Port Placement

Good luck Wed for your results Pat but I'm sure they'll be fine!

As to the wigs etc, I wore scarves at home but was'nt brave enough to face the world without my wig but applaud those who do!!!

Chemo is no picnic but do-able and there's usually a med to counteract most side effects if you have any so sending good wishes for that too. The most important thing I learned was to take the anti nausea meds even if I felt I did'nt need them as its far easier to prevent nausea than stop once it starts!!

Nancy, I hope you never need that info either!!!!
