So I had my port installed yesterday morning and had my first AC chemo in the afternoon! There were some delays in the morning (not due to me) that pushed my procedure out a couple of hours, then that roller-coasted with onc and chemo appointments. All told I was in the hospital for 13 hrs,and 37 min. All went well for me and I had a really good night's sleep despite being a little sore from port placement.

You're not going to get me down, cancer, I play to win!!!

    You had quite a day. Port and chemo the same day. I remember my port surgery was very painful afterwards for days. I was so bruised and swollen. Glad you're doing so good.
