Day 9

I just love our health care system.  When they put the port in for the chemo I was told one benefit was that when I need to get blood drawn they could just use the port.  Went to the lab at the hospital to get the tests done I was told only an RN or doctor could access the port.  The labs techs can't.  Reason given was they do not want to risk infecting the port.  That is all good but I wonder if they can't access the port without that risk , How safe is the hole they put in my arm?

Other than that it was a good day.  Only effects left from the first chemo seem to be a slight head ache every morning and being a little more tired.  It does seem to kill your appetite but I have made sure to eat at least three good meals a day and get 8 hours of sleep each night.
