Port Placed, and Pretty in Pink!

Got my port in today. I am happy because it doesn’t feel as uncomfortable as my first one felt. I had the same doctor who did my CT guided biopsy, so I knew I was in good hands. I had a nurse who said she just moved here from Ft. Meyers, which is where Aunt Carol lived, so I felt like it was a sign that she was with me today. And now my first day of chemo is tomorrow. I am anxious to start. We toured the Chemo room yesterday, and it is not nearly as nice as the one I had in South Carolina. This one is loud, everyone sits in a big circle (no cubbies or individual rooms), and it is not scenic. I was disappointed as Chemo was so peaceful and relaxing for me last time. And I had the most amazing scene from the room in South Carolina. This one will just be different. I will take things to work on, and I will take music so I can drown out the noise. Anxious about the needle going into my port, as I always am, but I got numbing cream, so that is good. I don’t know how Tom did it without the numbing cream?! Speaking of, I was awake for my port placement😬, but it went well. Feeling better now that the dreaded port is in and Chemo starts tomorrow. Will let you know how Chemo goes tomorrow. Will probably write while I am there. At 8:00 a.m. Looking forward to getting Chemo started, not looking forward to the early drive! At least I can have coffee tomorrow morning. Have to talk to the kids tonight about what is going on. 😢 Not sure what to say. I know it is harder on them than they let on. At least we are all together this time, and Tom and I are not running back and forth between states. Oh, and I came home to these beautiful flowers from friends we have not seen in way too long. I love them because the roses smell particularly WONDERFUL, and they are so pretty in pinks, perfect for breast cancer. My heart is so happy hearing from all of you. ❤️
