Kathy, I'm following you and your progress and it seems you are having a bit of bad luck with infections! I hope and pray it gets better for you!

I got my port placed Friday, and so far, everything seems okay. The steri-strips are still in place. My surgeon said to shower normally, and the strips will pretty much fall off on their own.

I start chemo on the 2nd. I'm VERY nervous about it for the very reason you are suffering. The fatigue. I can't imagine not having motivation or energy to move. That scares me. But, i'm sure i'll find a way to deal with it.

Good luck to you. I'll be cheering for you!
