I am in the ER now, waiting to be seen. Hopefully, all will be taken care of here. The oncology doctor indicated they may have to remove the port. Thankfully, I finished all my chemo for now and am waiting for bladder removal surgery on May 8.

Hi @ronzee50. I’ve been thinking about you this morning and hope everything went ok yesterday for you. Ports are great for having chemo/infusions/blood draws while in treatment but they can be notorious for infections. If you did end up having yours removed yesterday, the timing sounds good with your having completed all the chemo for now.
Wishing you well on your upcoming surgery. I know none of this is easy…simply put, cancer stinks! But we do the treatments, have the procedures, then heal and move forward! But if you ever feel uncertain about something, don’t hesitate to call your provider for direction.
Will you please me know how you’re doing?

Keeping you in our prayers ronzee. Good luck with surgery whenever that may turn out to be.
