    Wish I had seen this video before my port was placed ! I was a nervous wreck just finding out I had colon cancer . I’ve been in remission 2 years but I still have my port placed. Thank you so very much for sharing this video so I can recommend to someone else that might have to go thru the same thing we went . But I pray to God that it won’t be needed ! May God Bless you always as well as your family ❤️🥰

    Thank you for telling your story I was diagnosed with breast cancer and cancer in my lymph nodes I still don't think it has sunk in. I am so scared even though I know it will all be o.k. I'm having my port put in on April 14th and my first chemo on the 16th. I have a great support with my family and friends. I just can't get past being scared but listening to you seemed to ease some of my fears thank you for that. Your young and beautiful and you will be fine. I'm 65 with 2 beautiful grandaughters and I'm going to be around until I'm a great grandma. God Bless you and keep your videos coming Diane

      Tony Lopez ...hi Tony..noticed your post and hope the port surgery went well yesterday. Mid January I had emergency surgery to remove part of my colon that ruptured. I've had some delays and have not had port insertion yet. Now the virus postponed my appointment. Would you be interested in supporting each other, maybe via email? Just respond to this either way. Thanks.

  • @brozbro
    @brozbro 2 роки тому

    My oncologist prescribed a lidocaine cream for the chemo port before each use.
    "Chemo" is a very, very high level description of the cancer infusion process and varies substantially depending on many factors that determine the "recipe" given and its frequency.
    Unless you are the mirror image of this woman, your reaction will be different.....for better or worse.
    Even the timing of this particular video may be misleading. My infusions took place on Tuesdays and the effects didn't kick in until Thursday or Friday. The video I'd make on Wednesday was very different (night vs day) than Friday or the weekend, if I could make a video at all.

    Hi Amanda..! God bless you first of all.. your courage and your optimistic approach is very relieving ... my mother is getting a her port tomorrow .... she has stage 1b endometriosis.... it his us like a lightening bolt .... this is the first time someone from the family had gotten sick ..... and the shock was brutal... especially being my mother.... she is really scared .... i guess from the unknown... thank God she has a close friend that had stage 2 breast cancer and got through it( thanks God.! ) and is comforting her ... i actually have been so worried and stressed i cant even think strait anymore... just knowing how terrified she is brakes my heart...... we are at the point now where we just want to start it and get it over with..... doctors said after treatment there is only a 25% of the cancer ever coming back.. which are pretty good chances .... anyway just wanted to say your optimism is comforting and hope you are well....! GOD BLESS EVERYONE

    • @diplopenies
      @diplopenies 7 років тому

      I never try to act scared in front of her .. i always tell her your going to do it.. i guess it takes the first treatment to get that out of the way i guess.... do you think she should shave her head before first treatment ???? Because i see you didnt... my thought was get it cut before it falls out because watching your hair fall out might not be good for her recovery ...what is your though?? Thanks

  • @randysnewbiebluesrockguita7782

    I had surgery a month ago for colon cancer , they removed a fist sized tumor from my colon leaving me with a colostomy. I am starting chemo in 4 day's and having the port placed in 4 days and the chemo will start the week after. I am in stage 3 colon cancer with it in my lymph system in 3 nodes which I am praying the chemo will kill and I can have the ostomy reversed in a year but they said I will have the port for a year after the chemo is finished. I have to say I'm a little confused with everything happening so quickly and there are other areas of concern they have to look at after this part if over and I admittedly am scared. I only hope that my experience is close to yours and isn't terrible like after the surgery was for me, so much pain. Thank you for sharing your experience you are helping people.

    Amanda, you are 1 Strong Blonde! I have been searching for port insertion vid's; having mine place in around 9am today (haven't been able to sleep all night). Nervous about this procedure. I've had a double mastectomy so my chest is a little messed up with implants... I'm a total optimistic - I've had Breast Cancer twice; Thyroid Cancer twice and now I am going to start Chemo in about 10 days for my 5th bout of Lung Cancer. Haven't had Chemo - everything else and I am like you were... worried about the unknown. You helped me a lot, Thanks so much. I am HOPE and pray you are well!

      How old is your daughter? I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer on Friday :( Thankfully they found it during stage 1 but it looked like if we didn't it at the time we did it could have gotten to stage 2. The outer part of my tumor started to look like they were gonna become malignant. My oncologist really wants me to do chemo even though we probably got it all :( I really hope your daughter is doing well!

    My doctors told me I will lose all my hair, lashes, brows
    and even body hair. If I go with a wig, people will still
    see I have no lashes , brows plus I have deep set eyes
    so that puts makeup out of the picture.
    I am going to oncologist-hematologist on Friday to
    be set up for the port I belive and antibiotic meds
    I don't know when the Chemo starts
