If all goes well Thursday will be THE day. If all goes well on Thursday Bianca will get her port removed. Bianca knows it is going to happen, but since she doesn't remember a time without her port, she doesn't really know what to expect. But it feels wonderful to reach this milestone. 6 months off treatment - wow!
In the beginning, reaching long term maintenance felt so far away, then we reached that and the end of treatment felt like a far and distant point and now we are here.
Bianca wants to get her ears pierced and actually wanted it done the other day already. We've always said we will let our kids decide when they are ready to get their ears pierced, but of course for Bianca, she can't really go into theatre with newly pierced ears, so we had to tell her that she would have to wait till after. So not quite sure when after - I still have to find a place that is good with kids. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

WOW!!! What a road you have traveled and now to be so close to that point where that port is coming out. The whole family has done so well to get here. All our best wishes and prayers for the big event. Those ears are going to look great :D
Getting her port out will be really strange for her. I had breast cancer, and had one in for about a year, and when I got it out it felt as if part of me was missing. The sensation lasted a week or so!!!! Good luck ....
Maybe they can pierce her ears while she's under for surgery? Wouldn't that be a nice surprise to wake up to?
