Hi! :). So surgery…. Ugh was not fun. 4 days in the hospital. Then you go home and take it easy for a couple/8 weeks… I got my port put in shortly after 1 week before chemo started. Oxaliplatin was very hard to handle and I am super sensitive so had some allergic reactions and only made it thru 2 of those. The 5FU has alot of side effects but ot as bad as most chemo in my opinion. I kept my hair and never v got sick to my stomach. Others have so it is definitely a personal thing. The most important thing for me was surrounding myself with family and friends who were supportive and caring. My faith helps with the depression and feeling like I am lost without a direction. You need to look beyond the darkness of what is to what can be. Its a difficult road but not an impossible one. I pray your test is clear of cancer, but if not don’t lose hope. Always do something for you to keep your spirits up. ❤️
