Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and help! Everything went well - other than the 2 hour delay in the waiting room. Always seems to happen to me. So my total time there was 4 1/2 hours - my poor husband who hates to wait did VERY well. He's learning patience too, just like me. Next week I get my port installed - but my arm felt fine during the Navelbine infusion and still feels fine. But they're giving me no choice about that, just as well - I'm tired of making decisions! I also went to my lymphedema therapist after my chemo - she explained what she'll be doing for my treatment (massage therapy) and said I have only a slight lymphedema in my arm, so it's good we caught it early. She'll also help me with my range of motion issues with the cording in my arm - so that will definitely be a big help.
Flori I hope everything went well for you today - I was saying a prayer for both of us too last night! Thanks again everyone!
