Re: Trying to stay patient!
Hey there~ all your questions were my concern too. Let me assure you that my imagination was much worse than anything that has actually happened.
1) I don't even think about the port anymore. It did bother me at first just because it wasn't suppose to be there and it just felt a little weird sometimes if I would brush against it with my hand or sometimes when I would flip over at night. Now it is just a part of me and I don't give it a second thought.
2)Are you worried about golfing because of the port or because of arm? I haven't had any issues with my arm. I had a lumpectomy first and since have had a mastectomy and so far no problems. I have kept up with all my activities and no issues.
3)I run a preschool out of my home so I was very concern with my WBC, but I continued to work the whole time I took chemo and never once had to have a shot to boost my count. I ate healthy and tried to get plenty of rest and tried to have the children wash their hands all the time. Try to stay positive and if your counts do go low they can give you a booster to help out with that. Trust me Chemo and Rads are not fun but they are doable and you can do this!
