Remind me (sorry, helping kids w college applications so been a little preoccupied) - you had the port put in, then were hospitalized with an infection, was that from the port? You are going to do chemo but haven't started yet? And radiation too?
Had the port placed 10/19, first chemo 10/20. Neulasta 10/21. They cultured all the usual suspects, but nothing came back positive, so they really don't know what the source of infection was. It responded well to antibiotics so they decided not to remove the port. The good news is that my numbers are all back where they should be today.
I'm not sure whether I'll have radiation or not--there is still some talk about doing bilateral mastectomies after chemo is finished in Jan. Gotta get through this stuff first.
