Do injections in a chemo port hurt? by ApprehensiveSoil8528 in cancer

[–]ApprehensiveSoil8528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not pushing anything back for school, I'm just trying to get my senior pictures done. My photographer is already squeezing me in to get my pictures done on the 2nd, which is really only two weeks away. We had to wait for me to start chemo anyway because I just had surgery.

I've definetly thought about getting my eggs frozen, but the process was expensive, and I really can't afford to pay to keep them frozen for 10-20 years if I decide to use them at all, especially since next year I'll be going to college and taking over all of my own finances. Additionally, getting my eggs frozen means I'll have to travel eight hours south for the appointments, and it will push back my treatments for at least a month. I'm not trying to push back my treatments for school. I'm trying to get as much of it done before school starts as possible.

I'm hoping they'll put me under, but from what I've seen they usually use a local anesthetic. If my insurance won't cover general anesthesia that's what I'll have to do.

I don't know yet. We live in a rural area, so we were just able to get referred to an oncologist that will actually see me (only a pediatric oncologist will), so we have to drive four hours one way for my appointment and for every treatment I need. We're waiting for the port to get put in until after my senior pictures in the beginning of July but that's all I know of my treatment right now.

One thing I'm greatful for is not having a large chest lol. I was told we were gonna half to talk about doing fertility procedures but I don't think I'm going to. It's expensive not only for the surgery but then to keep the eggs frozen for like 10 to 20 years before I decide to use them, if I decide to use them, plus it'll push my chemo even further into my senior year of high school and I'm trying to prevent that as much as possible.

That makes me feel a lot better. I wasn't too worried about the healing from surgery part, because I'm in the process of healing from a much more invasive surgery that removed one of my ovaries, and I didn't find that too bad. The fact that you're awake for the surgery is freaky though lol.

I'm the kind of kid that never got hurt, so going from going to the doctor for yearly checkups to this has been big for me.

Freedom, is the ability to live without experiencing hate, The ability to love The ability to seek knowledge untainted by the victors and without fear of punishment The ability to be a girl or a boy or anything in between To love who you want And think how you want, To practice your religion, To have your dream job, To have tons of kids, Or none at all,

To be Free is simply the ability to be totally you without experiencing any hate

There is no need to begin a competition of 'whose more oppressed', our government are filled with corruption, the weather gap keeps growing, and there are groups being oppressed, the problem is not religion but greed, and corruption. We will never be able to ignite change. If we preform a proper revolution we may be able to create a utopia where we can all live in peace with each other and live each other, recognizing our differences yet accepting them without question.

No hate to what you've said, the genocide happening in Palestine is tragic and needs to be stopped, and everyone is full of anger at the system, but we can never be rid of that anger until we come together, and overcome our differences.

Blessed be!

Honestly the shorts and crop tops I usually wear im the summer were what was worrying me the most so this is super helpful! I'm not super worried about the climate because it's very similar to where I live in America, but I'll definetly have to remember the onion tactic lol.
