Thank you Kate.

I posted a separate post on the blood draws but what do they use for you? I'm assuming you have a port.

I have a port too but my testing facilities refuse to use it for anything other than herceptin, blood tests and muggas. they are very particular where I'm being treted.

If I decide to take port off, what will they use for pet cts etc? They can't use where they took the nodes, although they were not many for me. And if they take nodes away to test, that eliminates that side.

I heard that the foot is used but that is very painful. What else is new for su, right?!

thanks
