Hello everyone. My 2nd round of chemo has not gone good. Friday I was due to get my pump of 5FU unhooked and had some major pain where my port is. Went to the hospital and they found a blood clot near my port. So, they stopped the chemo and now I'm stuck here in the hospital until Monday or Tuesday. On blood thinners IV and then will go home on oral blood thinners. I can tell you I'm sooooooooo tired of all this, thinking I may stop the chemo for good. Happy Fathers day to me.

    Don't give up, I know the hospital sucks and chemo sucks but don't let it win.
    You've got to have more fight in you still.

    Sorry
    So sorry that you are in the hospital and having problems. A blood clot is nothing to mess with so it is a good thing that you are there so they can monitor you closely. Please don't give up on the chemo. It is too important for your complete healing. Wishing you the best. Happy Father's Day.

    Sorry to learn of this
    Please remain strong, the clot is readily cleared with meds as mentioned. Breathe and re-boot. Had a similar issue with our beloved, it will get better.
    I send blessings for healing and comfort for you.

    Home soon :)

    Don't Give Up!
    Keep going, hey, I was in hospitalized TWICE, one ended up in an emergency colostomy, which led me staying in the hospital for 9 days, and 6 weeks of recuperation being done, let me tell you, infections, clots, and whatnots are all the "norm" in this world, it sucks big time, but you have to come back swinging when knocked down, don't let it get you, it will get better, you just have to keep going, and roll with the punches!

    Hugssss!

    Give it time
    I can understand how you'd feel like you're tired of it all right now, but give yourself a little time. Once the clot's cleared up, and you feel batter, I think you'll feel more like continuing the chemo. I'm so sorry you have to be in the hospital on Father's Day.

    *hugs*
