The porta cath I had implanted on Friday was an interesting experience...I'm walking around with a $10K device in/on my chest :) Got my wig today, they arranged a "Look good, feel good" class for us and while I originally wanted a red curly wig, I looked like Carrot Top, so that was out! I did however get a black and silver gray bob - if you're gonna look like you're wearing a wig, why not go totally opposite - I'll more than likely be wearing hats and scarves, it's hot and itchy!! Chemo starts on Thursday, they have given me every medication and supplement available to keep me somewhat well through this, met all my chemo nurses, it's not a bad looking treatment room at all - coffee, tea, water and snacks - nice chairs, I'll bring my iPad and spend time reading and sleeping, a nutritionist will be coming by on Thurs and a therapist as well - they are even providing the legal stuff, JAG will help with living/wills, DNR's, POA - I cannot say enough good things about the treatment I have received so far at Reed, you really feel well taken care of and my team is incredible! Tomorrow I'll find out what the platypus really is...
