Chemotherapy Port for Cancer Treatment
This is a picture of my trusty chemotherapy port central line device used for eight months worth of chemo for Hodgkin s Disease aka Hodgkin Lymphoma A port is a surgically implanted device designed to save your arm veins from being burned from the inside out by chemotherapy Many people need to get them for treatment and have no clue what they look like I wanted to know what it was going to look like before I got mine and couldn t find a picture of a real person s port That s why I decided to share and I assume from the amount of views lots of people are curious My port resides about an inch under my collar bone on the left side of my chest This is what the port looks like when it is accessed and ready for use The nurse accesses the port with a butterfly or Huber needle My port is pediatric sized because my chest masses were too large to allow a full size adult port If you would like to see what a port looks like when it s not accessed for treatment go here <a href= http flickr com photos goellnitz 3333146681 in set 72157613799859126 >my port scar< a> I also have a picture of myself right after finishing my first chemo that shows <a href= http flickr com photos goellnitz 3277316449 in set 72157613799859126 >what the incisions looked liked< a> if you really want to see that for some reason By the way my face isn t all swelled up from the port procedure it swelled all up due to having SVC syndrome as a complication from Hodgkin s Disease If you d like to learn more about ports please visit my <a href= http hodgkindisease wordpress com 2008 02 01 ports >page about them< a> on my Hodgkin blog

the last chemotherapy
today was my <a href= http www ddlatt blogspot com >very last chemotherapy< a> after four months of adriamycin cytoxan and taxol drugs and neulasta shots every two weeks eight chemo sessions a total of 37 hours of infusion eight neulasta shots and about 60 netflix videos and too much skinny cow ice cream to mention every single time i went to chemo except once when he was on his one year anniversary trip to costa rica my son matt has been with me each time he has held my hand when the IV was inserted he has helped me in every way possible for four solid months he has made lunch for me at his house countless number of times and watched movies with me to keep me company when i felt awful his wonderful wife molly has brought lunch to me at chemo baked quiche for me at home and checked on me after each chemo i am so very glad that i live down the street from them and that we are so close they have helped me get through chemo in the best possible ways chemo and the neulasta shots have been really rough i ve felt very toxic and awful sometimes in a lot of pain but it was not as bad as i imagined i never spent an entire day in bed feeling sick i never got behind in work i never threw up from the chemo but it s been very strange to be so aware of every inch of my body every single day every two weeks new and bizarre side effects i have felt trapped in my body and watched myself become more and more unfamiliar every day in the mirror it s just plain weird it s been so very very odd to lose all my hair eyelashes eyebrows fingernails losing my breasts was no big deal to me because i always wanted a flat chest and i love my new body but all my hair even nose hair that s just so wrong and it won t grow back for quite a while but hopefully after all this and the upcoming 36 radiation treatments the cancer won t come back at all this is what cancer has taught me i ve learned that our bodies are stronger and more complicated than we can possibly imagine and so
