A port is good, save her the discomfort of having cannulas all the time.

Be strong, be positive. I know it's hard to be strong, but you have to do that for her, yourself and family. I PRAYER for HER and YOU every single day.
God bless you!

Day 3. She came home better than yesterday , thank God. I thought she mite even have the strength to go to the Wednesday Methodist youth group tonight that she usually attends. The youth minister is a good friend of hers. She went to chemo to visit my girlie. Not sure she was awake though. When my girlie came home, had a little dinner, and passed out asleep. Three hours later. Still there. Damn.

Day 4 Chemo. She came home, no smile, I miss it. Shit! So week one is over, no chemo tomorrow, just a two hour bag of fluids with meds to help her body shed the dead cells, both good and cancerous. She has a device on her arm with a timer that will inject her with a drug to stimulate white blood cell production, in 72 hours. Crazy. I’m lookin forward to hot tub time again with her, later next week. She’ll have the needle removed from her port tomorrow so she can take a shower. I’m sure she looking forward to that. I know I’m not myself with out my morning daily shower. So no more chemo for two weeks. Then cycle two of six, I know each cycle will kick her ass more and more. She came home while I was clamped and laid down next to me, I was covered. I held her hand and has to fight back my tears. Ugh.

It's painful Party, to hear your suffering, but it's what loving parents do for their kids. Hopefully the next 2 weeks without chemo will help her regain some strength to prepare for the next round. Enjoy that hot tub time with her (just don;t make it TOO HOT, since that might sap her strength significantly following the chemo). Keeping you & your family in my prayers, man! THINK POSITIVE, & STAY STRONG for your daughter!

So second week chemo starts Monday. Got some zero owed bills from the first weeks chemo. OMG, $30,000. Jesus. And her oncologist said this was the cheap chemo WTF. So to date, total cost, from first biopsy, 3 surgeries, radiation, physical therapy, 7 days in hospital, follow ups, half million dollars. But she’s doin great all thing considered. Dollars out of my pocket, I figure $12,000, worth every penny. This doesn’t include food, travel, hotel expenses.

How is she coping with the chemo now? Any side effects?

Shes doing just ok. But she is doing what she’s supposed to, forcing fluids, eating, but still got 5 more rounds to go. I’m worried about the flu bug, could he leathal for her. But she refuses to wear a mask, despite her low white cell count, 1.5. It’s probably gone up, but still. I was home early in the morning before work a couple days ago. Had gotten outta of the shower. Was butt naked walking around before I got dressed. Suddenly. There she is. What’s up sweetheart I ask. Can I have a bagel and cream cheese? And can you wash your hands and put some underwear on when you you bring it? Sure, I replied. So, I brought her the bagel with underwear on, my cocksox thong. Thanks Daddy she says when I bring it. But maybe a little more underwear next time. Ok girlie. She had a big smile.

Just keep monitoring her temp, if it falls above or below normal (above 37.5C, below 36C) it's straight off to the hospital for her.

This will be your first sign of infection or neutropenic sepsis, especially if her white blood count is low.

If she takes the necessary precautions when she's out in public she should be fine.

Oh! And put some bloody clothes on man! She don't wanna see your old todger swingin' in the breeze! Especially first thing in the morning! Have some decorum!

Good. Make sure she uses it.

Why did she want her bagel wearing under wear? That seems strange to me.
