Thanks Elaine and Pam - I appreciate your comments. I just had my fourth infusion yesterday and other than a bit of diarhea, felt fine. No hair loss at all! Unfortunately, they still couldn't use my chemo port because the incision is still red and not healed. But the nurse hung a bag of saline to flow while she gave me the Navelbine, so my arm doesn't hurt at all. Hopefully in two weeks they'll be able to use the port again.
