It's official, I'm now fighting my cancer with cytotoxins (chemotherapy) and
ionizing energy (radiation therapy).

Very cool photos. How often do they change the bottles, and how long do you keep it around your neck? Can we call you Agent 11/11/0052 from now on?
ReplyDeleteI keep it around my neck all day, and place it under my pillow at night. The bottle is replaced every week and so are the dressings.
ReplyDeleteIt must not be easy to carry all those bottles and tubes...where do you place them when you shower？
ReplyDeleteIs that an X ray picture of the PCC line? That is the nicest X-ray picture I've ever seen!!

The bottle hangs on a hook just outside the shower, my arm also stays dry during showers. The Xray is my chest indeed, and the long thin dark line you can see is the PICC.
ReplyDeleteI like your smile. love you Ben. Roro.
