Tanya, I lstill have my port. It was put in three years ago when we thought I was getting IV chemo . I only got one dose when we decided to go oral again. I have been hesitant to have it removed since it works great for my infusions, etc. But my onc just moved me to every 6 Mos so I am thinking about it. I am to go in every 6 weeks for a flush. As long as it works I hesitate until I know whether the Orserdu is working. I am 4 Mos into it now.

intolight my port was placed in 2017 when I thought I’d be getting chemo but then got ibrance. The port was used for zometa infusions and blood draws and then I got the osteonecrosis from the zometa in December. I had to get those port flushes and the port was always persnickety and would rarely give blood. I was at a hospital for pet and cat scans and they refused to use the port bc it didn’t give blood. They got that find a vein machine and stuck me three more times with digging included for free. So I decided to get rid of it. I hope my future treatment options don’t include iv chemo and if they do I’ll do the Mara crying and Goldens swearing and then get another port idk. This is my cancer treatment story.

Goldens, happy drain is out and you can have a lovely showers again and that pain has receded to soreness, that would be easier to treat.

I am frustrated with drains, I know I promised not to mention but cannot help it, having to use the wet dry vac all the time is not simple and no proper washing has been done. I am putting a plan in place until I can have the prop manager to visit. Try to get tub dry with the vac, remove the washers, clean bathtub and have them check it out. I should have done that but did not which was dumb not to do it before. Plunging, draino and drain snaking is not helping so if I can get the tub dry at least and cleaned.

Had a bit of a cry, was toasting my rice, dry and used the breville oven, went to touch the pan handle without remembering it was hot. It just hurt and between that and the drain, frustration needed to be let out. No longer crying now. Plan for breakfast is the rice, put water in the pot for the rice and will be adding beans and egg, probably use up some cheese as well. I am interested to find out how toasted rice tastes in comparison to the normal white rice prep. I know you cannot simply eat tosted rice but I am interested in the taste difference. Once the rice has been cooled post heating, will add beans, beefless ground and taco seasoning with small amounts of salt, sour cream, ranch and queso. I forsee a good meal, will post later about it.

I do hope everyone has a good day, in pocket for everyone who needs me and my own pocket as well to get to a dry tub.
