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.

Are you suggesting he should work his boring and likely stressful law job while going through chemotherapy?

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.

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

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

Used chemo port in the title so it’d be clear to people who aren’t familiar with the term mediport

Ty. The procedure was really quick and comfortable. Im still feeling the fentanyl and other sedative they gave me so a little drowsy. Chest area where they implanted the port is sore so im icing it. Now that it’s done I’m relieved
