Chemo, an aggressive tumor and ports
Met with medical oncology today and it looks like I’m getting AC-T (4 rounds of each). My oncotype was 3, but I have macromets, extranodal extension, extensive lymphatic invasion and all of that came from a 1 cm tiny tumor that is not technically testing aggressive, but it’s acting aggressive and has reached 2 nodes.
I’ll have 8 infusions and she said there’s no need for a port - I have heard that the red devil kills your veins.
8 infusions 8 pre-infusions blood draws 8 mid cycle draws to check levels Likely other sticks that I’m not aware of
Did you get a port for this kind of thing? How did your veins fare if not?
