Re: Cancer is back...I just knew it.
Chelee,
I know this is overwhelming right now. One step at a time. We are all here for you, sweetie. I'm glad you let your onc know you're ticked off! Maybe keep her on her toes from now on. You WILL get through this. I had all my chemo and herceptins without a port....perhaps they can find a vein without putting in a port? Can you use either arm?
Just a suggestion, but I make up lists for my docs so I don't forget anything. With all the tests you will be having it relieves your mind from having to remember every detail.
Sending the best vibes to you!
Dianne
