You taking off work? How are you keeping your days structured ? |

Date: April 23rd, 2024 12:01 PM Author: Geriatric 180 Fanboi Resort On medical leave. Not doing any work during treatment. I’m planning on reading more books. Days are not very structured yet due to the stress of the situation but I spend a lot of quality time with family which keeps me grounded.

Date: April 23rd, 2024 12:03 PM Author: charcoal heaven pozpig getting the port installed seems deceptively terrible, as if it should be NBD bro you're finally getting treatment, but it's there, it's all real, and there's little you can do to remove it until the course is finished. godspeed man, i'm praying for you.

Date: April 23rd, 2024 1:51 PM Author: Geriatric 180 Fanboi Resort Yeah, when my dr first told me about the port a few weeks ago I felt very sad and anxious about it all…as you said, because it’s all too real.
Yesterday was a rough day where i was crying throughout the day but feeling pretty good today. Going to head outside for a few hours and get some fresh air soon |

Date: April 24th, 2024 6:37 PM Author: Geriatric 180 Fanboi Resort No, I don’t think anyone does chemo that frequently, do they? Mine is once every 2 weeks.
My understanding is I’ll be in the chemo center for 4 hours or so each time and then I have to come home with a pump that contains one of the 2 chemo infusion meds (and carry it with me everywhere) and I’ll get it gradually over 48 hours. Then i’ll have to go back to the hospital for them to remove the pump and they’ll give me iv fluids if needed |

Date: April 23rd, 2024 7:25 PM Author: Geriatric 180 Fanboi Resort Used chemo port in the title so it’d be clear to people who aren’t familiar with the term mediport (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5520703&forum_id=2#47605375) |

Date: April 25th, 2024 7:01 PM Author: Geriatric 180 Fanboi Resort Ty. The procedure was really quick and comfortable.

Now that it’s done I’m relieved (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5520703&forum_id=2#47610021) |
