That port they put in does the job. It IS pretty annoying to tell you the truth and there is a bump on my right side where it is but it does the job and the incision is healing nicely.
It has now been six weeks (yes! six weeks!) since my last blood transfusion. I do a lot of chemo but other than the back and forth to get that it's not a huge deal.
I could get used to this.

Are you getting a lot of side effects from the chemo? Does the port hurt?
Well 6 weeks! Hope you are able to go even longer
Myself, a little improvement and my doc told me to hang in there. He had told me 3-4 months at the end of July (I think?). I'm able to feel hunger pangs again so I'm eating more regularly. Well I did get a chance to talk about it with a biology prof from Brown U after a lecture (about the brain, memory and learning) and he explained the negative feedback-cortisol issue and how that has affected my memory and the hunger thing, etc. I still don't get it
...he was talking too fast
