I suggest bringing something like ginger chews or mints. When they flush your port between things, you can taste the saline and it's gross. I always put a ginger mint in my mouth before they did it to block the taste. Will be thinking of you.

I am good. The surgeon put what looked like super glue on it instead of stitches. It came off yesterday just like glue would.

I have been good and not lifted or pulled anything so it feels ok.

My treatments are 6 hours the first day then they send me home with a pump for 42 more hours. Then back in 2 weeks if I stay on chemo. If I go to immunotherapy it is once every 3 weeks.

I will be on this the rest of my life which I plan on it being a LONG time
