TSA and ports and bags
I thought I would share this information. My mother has a port and her doctor asked if she was flying for the holiday because she probably would not pass through without any issues. He advised her to keep her medical card and bracelet with her to make sure she could advance through security.

FOLFOX #3 turned me into a tourist!
Round #3 So … I did well this round as I didn’t have a reaction during infusion. Woo Hoo! Seems the double Benadryl push, one at the beginning and one half way through works for me.
