I'm sorry Kelli that you are having such pain. I do remember that time very well. I had my surgery 3 days before Christmas, I hurt so bad. I went to church on Christmas Eve and ended up getting the flu real bad for Christmas day. That tube is so uncomfortable. Be sure to take care of yourself right now because your immune system is probably low. When I had mine done the first 5 they took out were bad, so they went ahead and took out most of the others. I didn't get the results back for a week but I remember being in shock when they told me all 5 were bad...it turned out to be at least 13 or more. I'm sorry that they are having to go back in so soon for the port and other lymph node removals. I had the port put in also a week after my bout with the flu and lumpectomy. I was so upset at having to put my body through another surgery so soon. I was upset that when the surgeon saw the bad lymph nodes that she didn't just automatically put the port in then, she knew I was going to need chemo. Plus the fact that the second surgery occured on January 1 and we had to pay our deductable all over again. Yes, it will probably all hit you very soon but it's better that you are feeling the way you do right now. You have a lot to absorb and go through. Take a deep breath and take it one day at a time, that's all you can do. And if you start having anxiety attacks, don't hesistate to ask for anxiety medication to help you through this time...be easy on yourself...You are in my prayers..sherryg683
