Finally ......................I will be attending The Three Shires Hospital in Cliftonville Northampton tomorrow at 13.50 to remove the Porta Cath in my chest. The Porta Cath is a wonderful device is inserted completely under the skin via surgery and takes the Chemotherapy drugs without fear of infection. It can take approximately 1000 injections before it needs replacing. I have been very fortunate having my Chemo at home via the above it made it all so easy. Having said that I haven't really got on with it, Its become quite sore and irritating especially when trying to sleep.The last remnants reminding me of the cancer and a journey that has lasted almost three years. My consultant for tomorrow is David A Ratliff MD FRCP FRCS Vascular, Laparoscopic and Endocrine Surgeon. My son Matthew & his galfriend Timone are safely back from Australia and will be driving me to/from hospital. I'm warned no driving for 48hours after the surgery............Brilliant !!!!!!Wendy will have to drive when we visit our friends Iain & Myra next weekend.
