Hi Kattjade

Question for you. Have the doctors implanted a med -a- port or power port?
They both help getting chemo into you. Only one place to put the needle.
If not you might talk to your oncologist about getting one.

Hi Kattjade, so I know all of this must be pretty scary. I want you to remember one thing. It's one day at a time. One treatment at a time. Everyone is affected differently by chemo and radiation. I didn't start feeling tired until the end of the 4th week. I had 5 weeks of radiation. You are young and your prognosis is good! You can beat this thing!! Have faith, lean on friends and family for help. Ask questions, cry when you need too. But don't let it get you down for too long. Try to continue to do all the things you love. You got this!! Blessings to you and your family.
