Checking in, cycle one day 19

The last two days I have been feeling good. Food is not always my friend but that is easy to work around.  Thursday we go to MDA for a pre op appointment and port education.  Friday morning I will have my port placed. It will be on the left side of my upper chest. The port gives access for chemo without having to have an IV placed each time. Since we have about a year of treatment, six rounds of TCHP, surgery and then six rounds of trastuzumab alone, I think it is a good thing. Keep your fingers crossed that I am able to have the taxotere this next round without a reaction.  If I can not it will change our treatment plan. I am a little nervous about it. How much worse will I feel with the extra medication? 

One cycle down, five to go.
