Chemo treatments are 6-7 hours moving forward. I go every 3 weeks to get my cocktail.<br /><br />I know people who had their port in for years. I would imagine they watch for complications (infection, etc). I didn't feel the needle and my veins are not good, so this is definately the best route.<br /><br />Big C has been the best organizer. Matt is dropping me off, but has to go to school. We will have to nail down the rest of it. I'm sure being by myself is just fine.

Do you have to keep the port in for the Herceptin treatments over the next year? I was looking at Stewart's Place online, is seems like a great nonprofit! Is Big C also scheduling people to go with you? <br /><br />Love ya!Heather Shockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748640588423747062noreply@blogger.com
