The first big step was getting my port placed. I was supposed to do it a week before chemo but we rescheduled to the day before and I was glad - I could have one more carefree week (also, not being able to pick up my toddler for a week has a huge impact on my life - he's still in a crib so dad would have to stay home form work nights). I did it the day before I was scheduled for chemo, and I'm glad I held off until then.
The procedure went really well - I was apprehensive about being awake but it was no big deal, and the drugs wore off smoothly. Everyone is so friendly at the hospital! It was of course sore after, but I still went for a couple of walks. I took a couple Motrin at night and found it most comfortable to sleep on my back.
