My mom had a porta cath in her chest. The main thing is to keep it clean with a wet cloth. You will be just fine. Through your clothes, it barely shows. You’ve got this.

Let this thread show you have real estate in all of our hearts. Thank you for inviting us into your treatments, procedures and health issues period. We all are backing you and are with you on this life journey.

It is OK to be a little scared. You do have all of us pulling for you.

Home safe and sound. It went perfect, and now I have a brand new piece of plastic in my upper chest Now to get this chemo started!

Thank you, I loved that, and I believe it too.

Kinda crazy, but it's our 33rd anniversary today as well

I actually had a blast at the hospital too. Needless to say, I had them all laughing

Brilliant news, Deacon
Happy Anniversary to you both

Thanks!

So here's a crappy picture of my upper right chest area. You can see the superglue holding the wound shut, but I can't seem to get the lump from the port to show. Maybe next time

glad to hear that all went well with the port.

 

[beachbaby179]

Ouch. That looks like it really hurts.

Oh lo! It’s like you are a superhero now. Life serves up these scars and extra pieces. Three years ago my daughter was diagnosed with cancer. My SIL and BIL went out of their way to tell me how chemo was no big deal. How the surgeries were just a blip on the radar. I told them that it was my daughter they were talking about, and that my daughter had cancer. I think that it’s important to acknowledge that this is SOMETHING. You are going through something big, and I see that. You have a plastic shunt in your chest. That is a big something. Rest, lo. While I know that you are capable to handle what is on the road ahead, I know that you will need your mental and emotional strength as well as physical.

Sending you much love.

Thank you Em I appreciate what you wrote. At home it is a bit tense, but I'm just a bit anxious about this week and whats to come. My brothers and sisters are pretty wound up about it because my mom died of cancer in 2014, and my grandpa died of cancer in 1990.

For me, every fight is different, so keeping my chin up

 

[Deleted member 3041612]

I didn’t have a chance to congratulate you on your anniversary before. Happy belated anniversary!

This IS something big. I’m glad to see you are acknowledging it and treating it with care and caution. That cut and that area doesn’t look very nice of course, but you’re still here with us. For this, I’m very thankful. This is just a suggestion: If you can, keep a picture diary of these events as they happen. Show your children and grandchildren what a fighter you are. It won’t feel good going through this and it will be very humbling, but just like you’re sharing with us in words, your family will appreciate the steps taken to be with you during the not so good. The photo diary would only add to the lives of those seen struggling with adversities. Seeing you do it may inspire them to keep going.
