Absolutely - now I know how easy it is.

I feel bad when I am in the oncology ward having it done though - it really brings it home how much worse it could be. Yesterday, although I was just having a bit of a laugh with the staff, the patients in there were so very nice - reassuring me that it would be easy, and being genuinely interested and sympathetic about my MS Dx - I felt like such a fraud - I would be fine and they would leave after Chemo, be sick, lose their hair, and sadly for some, eventually (or even soon) lose their lives.

Still, the goodness of the human spirit shines through, and without exception they were beautiful and genuine. When we know how much there is to lose, do we realise how much we gain by connecting and being closer to others? Is that part of our humanity?

Anyway, enough philosophy, I have my head around using my Port - now I just have to get my head around the prospect (unlikely, but always there) of PML.
