Sitting here typing with my drain still dangling but pinned to my t-shirt. I hope it comes out tomorrow. It's been in there 2 weeks today. It's a "drag" and not an attractive fashion accessory.
I came across this link because the next step in for my surgeon to install my portacath, which I expect will be the subclavial type. Doesn't that look like fun? I don't want to know anything; don't want to feel anything - so he can bonk me with a hammer or put me out completely - or no deal. I don't want to feel pressure or anything. Am I being a sissy?

Maybe. I want some of that pre-colonoscopy juice. Nighty night! Wake up and go home. Know nothing; feel nothing.
Then I will speak to my oncologist for the first time.
Been reading too much. Got a bit overwhelmed last night and thought, since I'm HER2 positive, will I ever be able to be cancer free? If I take a drug to fight infection that sounds like I may have to - it causes your spleen to rupture. HOW NICE! If I take Herceptin that targets my HER2 cells, my heart can stop, be damaged - My spleen and my heart are just fine. Will there be quality of life issues? This is a crapshoot.
That's the biggest bummer of all.
