I hope that lung fluid is cancer free. A lot of lung complaints down here in Delaware this time of year due to change of season -- I hope that's what this is.

Wow Sandy, you are strong. You give me strength. I hope all the doctors you are seeing are something "good" to look at. It's always nice to have something nice to look at. Hope that made you smile.

Sandy,
How blissful not to feel short of breath any more, but now the wait for news must be tough.
Hope you're keeping well distracted, and getting out into some lovely warming Spring sunshine this weekend, and that you can reach out for a hug if a fearful moment creeps up on you. There's a lot to be said for keeping busy!
I'm keeping you in my thoughts and sending you strength, we're all here with you, holding you in our hearts.
Love to you, keep in good spirits
Caroline

Sandy, hope your news is positive! I have my port in the inner part of my right arm. It's about chest level, in the part facing my body.
I've had it for over 3 years now, and have not had any problems with it, perhaps you might want to look into it?

what the heck
Sandy! It makes me crazy, this turn of events. I'm so sorry there is all of this going on. I am glad that your chest is feeling better and you are not coughing anymore. I'm PRAYING and PRAYING that the fluid is just fluid. I'm wishing you good luck with port relocation. AND I'm so impressed and inspired by your attitude and grace and humor. Thank you for sharing your beauty and gifts with us.
p.s. I had an arm port 7 years ago and it also worked fine.
