I highly recommend getting the port, I have always had the problem with my veins collapsing, and to be able to get my labs via the port is so much easier and less painful.
I didn’t get a choice on a port that was part of my treatment for pancreatic cancer. My regimen was 4 drugs over 12 cycles then surgery and then 12 more after surgery. I still have my port. I’m glad I got it.
You are looking amazing Masha, I've been following you on your journey as I have just started my Lymphoma journey. Thank You so much for all the information / advice you have offered.
@@MashaKutie0108 0:37 I wish to bring some encouragement by sharing some optimism and hope. Some things are just too difficult to say here (if you know what I mean), so please write down the capital letters from the following paragraph. I hope you understand. 😉 Frogs Often Leap Lightly Over Water. Many Armadillos are Keeping In Shape. Many Dingos Occasionally Need X-rays. I’ll translate only part. I hope you understand why.

Hello, I'm still debating whether to get a port or not. May I ask which chemo regimen you received with exact names of the drug(s)? Thank you. Sending positive vibes!
