port infection
Has anyone had a port infection? My mom has a little fluid filled bump near her port and I am afraid she could have an infection.
My cancer seems very aggressive
Had my appointment today for CA125 and scan results. Not good. CA125 is up from 485 to 1,305 and scan shows disease progression. My oncologist began by telling me it was not good news.

I haven't eaten real food in weeks and am pencil thin. I prolly won't make it through the month, but am happy and content. Luckily there's no pain…
