in Breast Cancer #1

Got my port implanted yesterday and lived to tell the tale!

Thank all of you for easing my fears about that procedure.

I was cool as a cucumber (on the outside anyway).

I will begin Herceptin infusions next week (think SWAT team against bone mets).

Hugs everyone.

Zah

    Glad it went well

    Glad the port placement went well, another step closer to the finish line, one step at a time.

    Bring out SWAT TEAM for mets

    Zah, we are all in this together and glad all the advice you received was good and glad port went well for you. Next week all of your sisters here will bring out the Swat team and Swat all of your mets with a swatter along with the herceptin. Treatments and swatters are going to do wonders for you. Smile Hugs, Pixie

    Whew!

    Port - big first step. Gotta start, in order to finish.

    Glad it was easier than you initially thought it might be.

    Am liking your SWAT Team analogy. Wink

    Hoping the Herceptin will kick cancer's ****.

    Big (((hugs))) backatcha, zah.

    Kindest regards, Susan

    love it .. Cool as a cucumber,

    My experience did not goes that well - however, after all was said and done, my port operated and functioned properly. 

    I too, endured Herceptin for 1 year - much easier on my body, and system that TCH -- cocktail.

    We are WARRIORS -- go forth, and stand tall !!  Well, whenever you have the strength to do so.

    That's great

    Glad you got thru that. I think you will find Herceptin easy. It was one drug I was happy to see going into my veins. I'm sure you'll get great results, keep us posted!

    Good luck, Anna

    Pain under control with oxycodone and begin Herceptin tomorrow hopefully.

    Thanks for your support.
