Next time you decide to do that let me know i'll give you a call on the cell phone,oh wait its illegal to talk on the phone while driving in CT. I couldn't even pay attention to what you were saying, I had to stop it and write this note... I just kepth thinking she's going to crash... I love you and hope to see you soon. Now that I've got that off my chest I have to go back and watch and listen.

It's so true! And what you say in the vlog is also profound. Often, we may not share a situation with loved ones (ex., when I was going through infertility) specifically because we don't want unwanted advice. It's our own job to make peace with our decisions and no one but us. You are incredibly eloquent!

So compelling ...How dare you make me cry at work? <br /><br />So compelling and so real--both the vlog and blog posts. You let yourself unravel and feel and you came down to core truths. <br /><br />Please, keep in the back of your mind, that someday when the question of port or no port is long gone and the question becomes if you can get a run and a swim in on the same day, you will consider taking these vlog's and creating a documentary. I think you put am authentic and compelling voice and a face to a process that is needed and appreciated. Everyone has been touched by cancer--directly or indirectly. <br /><br />Big hugs to you, Amy, from sunny California.

I so feel you. And I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to feel "part hospital" with a constant reminder surgically implanted in you.<br /><br />I'm certainly not advising you what to do, but just to share my experience - I've done 8 out of 12 Taxols without a port, plus 4 rounds of another chemo and weekly Herceptin infusions since last August, and bad needle sticks haven't been a problem yet. I'm about your age and my veins are holding up. <br /><br />But like you, most women I know who've had ports say they're glad they did. Right now I am glad I haven't. My mastectomy scars are enough of a reminder without having a hunk of plastic in my chest too. That's just how I feel. And thanks again for sharing how you feel! <br /><br />Also, are you allowed to swim with a port? That seems like a big consideration for you.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356842492553129825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19133339.post-81156045133593773522011-03-03T22:48:54.592-05:002011-03-03T22:48:54.592-05:00you are just the most amazing woman, and i feel so...you are just the most amazing woman, and i feel so blessed to have happened upon your blog. thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19133339.post-77466137322061850532011-03-03T22:24:37.232-05:002011-03-03T22:24:37.232-05:00You have outdone yourself with this posting.
