Hi all,
Started round 2 today, and used my port to have the blood drawn and get the stuff put in. What a difference. My veins were thanking me, the whole thing went very quickly, no burning when the 5FU was pushed in!! It took half the time for the infusion, and except for feeling a little futuristic with a tube sticking out of my port, I was sooooo pleased. Why didn't they rec this more strongly to begin with? I also switched to a branch office of my onc, closer to home, smaller, friendlier, and I used to work with one of the nurses. The whole atmosphere feels much better, and so do I. Used the travel time saved to stop for a light dinner on the way home. Hubby and I needed that! Thanks to all for your ongoing support. Judy
