Luanne Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 This one (so far) has been easier than the last one was. I am actually going to be able to drive myself down there today to get the shot. The day after every chemo treatment I have to get a shot to help my white-blood cells. I'm still very sore from the port they put in, but overall it is looking like that was a good thing for them to do. They can take blood and put the medications in via the port instead of using my veins in my arm all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (((Luanne))) You are a trooper! I hope your port feels better and you get through the next few days easily. Have a beautiful Easter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm so glad you're feeling well enough to post an update -- I'd bumped up your previous thread last night in the hope you might see it, but I wasn't sure you'd be up to getting online. I'm praying that the chemo treatments will be tolerable and it's so encouraging that this one was better than the last one. I hope it continues that way for you! I hope the area around the port stops hurting soon. I'm sure it takes a while for your body to get accustomed to it, but the people I know who have had them have said they were so much better than having to get all those needles.

GinaPagnato Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The port was a lifesaver for me and my veins! I practically lived on lemon popsicles during chemo. Don't ask me why, but they were the one thing that always tasted good to me. My sense of smell and taste got really wonky for awhile, but it all cleared up. :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luanne Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm not feeling quite as well today, but am much better than I was Saturday after the first treatment. That day I spend the entire day in bed. I will be going to lay down in a minute though. I was able to take my daughter to donate plasma this morning and then to work at 4 pm.
