This sight is truly awesome. It sounds like keeping the port in a year after all meds is a precautionary measure as that does make sense. My other concerns are 1. getting use to the port 2. Doing activities like golfing 3. What if I accidentally cut myself or get a bug bite etc. 4. Keeping enough sun screen on. 5. Having low WBC or RBC. It appears in all that I have read that the WBC is the biggie here. Do dieticians get involved to help plan the right foods in preparation of or during chemo, and how often do they usually give booster shots for the white and or red blood cells?
