I had surgery last Friday to have my port put in. other than a terribly apathetic anesthesiologist it went well I think. The port itself is uncomfortable pressure in my chest and I have a bit of a headache as well as some pain when I laugh or cough. Not to mention that I'm already pretty fatigued. Two surgeries in less than three weeks has taken toll on me mentally and physically. I swear every week is filled with cancer related appointments. In the last six weeks I've had: 3 ultrasounds 2 mammograms Biopsy MRI Surgical Oncology appointments Genetic testing Radiation Oncology appointments Medical Oncology appointments Surgery Post Op appointments Echocardiogram More surgery I can't get away. Now the start date for chemotherapy looms less than 72 hours away and I feel unprepared, unfocused and nervous. I think I just have to chalk today up to being a not great day emotionally and start again tomorrow. Hopefully in a better mood and with less of a headache.
