Hi has anyone had a port a cath fitted for chemo or any other forms of administration. I am reluctant to have a port a cath fitted as it will be in place for the duration of my chemo. I would prefer an injection in my arm for each course of chemo.
I have been diagnosed as a grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma associated with precancerous cells (ductal carcinoma in situ of high grade). I do not know what stage I am.
I am negative to ER0, and PR 0 and will be tested for a drug called Herceptin. Do not know how I will be tested for that or what it means if I am positive or negative.
One final question is how long does it take for hair loss after first chemo session.
Thank you
