That was a song? Whats the name of it? 
laceyk:
The ports are normally fairly easy! I know it must be scary when you think about the mechanics. But I have friends who even kept their ports for a while after (not reco'ed I don't think by the doctor) just cause it is so easy to take blood and even get shots. Right into the port it goes!

Thank you both so much...you are amazing ladies and great friends to show your concern.
Well, the next chemo session is coming up Wedsnday morning, man I dread it. Although my little acne problem/skin condition dissapeared magically, well not so much as the steriods had about 99% to do with it, but I was impressed by that aspect of it.
Last Thursday the chemo wore off, I had a fever of 102.1 (normal for me has always been around 97.7)...

Thanks Tunala, you and I both. It is guess work. With all of the medical tech we have in the 21st century, you would think that we wouldn't have guess work.
