This is the 4th surgery (lumpectomy, lymph nodes, portacath insertion) and this was the first one done under local anaesthetic and for me, the worst out of all of them I would say.
I had my CT scan today before commencing radiotherapy next week.
I've now set a date for the removal of my portacath. This will be the following Wednesday after my 12th chemo session and the week before radiotherapy starts. It has never been comfortable but yet it has made my weekly chemo sessions much easier. As much as I don't like having the portacath, I am getting very anxious about having it removed since this time it will he done under local anaesthetic so I will be awake:…
That's the name I've given to myself do we I keep falling. I fell down the stairs again yesterday morning, the third time! This time it was only 2-3 steps towards the bottom so the impact was much less. I landed in on my arm (the bad one) so that was a little uncomfortable. Perhaps I an experiencing numbness in my feet so I'm not feeling the steps well.
