Re: Port Placement
Hi Lisa and Patz! Just dropping by to offer encouragement as you get started with treatment. As Lisa said, starting the countdown! Just keep your eye on the prize. I have often stated here that a psychologist told me that once I begin chemo it will be like having a balloon pricked...all the anxiety will be released. So true.
Patz, if the team is aware of your allergic tendencies, they will administer meds prior to infusion. Well, they do anyway. As a precaution. So just be sure to mention it to your doc.
You might put info in your signatures so we know more about you both.
Keep the faith.
