At the suggestion of my oncologist, I had my port out day before yesterday.
I have energy.
I feel great.
My appetite is improved...wait! That's NOT good news!
Oh, well. Things are great here.
Did I mention that I really feel good?

    Yes, it is ALL good news!!!

    I experienced the same....but I would MUCH rather have to watch my weight on the up side, than try to gain weight in desperation like I did when I was in treatment.

    Hugs, kathi
