My favourite won with a 2 to 1 margin (14 to 7).
That is the one I ordered, but I may get short and sassy as a back up.
We went to the Zion United Church BBQ dinner yesterday with Dad and Lois, Issac,Liz and Irene. It was a really good dinner. They served Beef, baked potatoes, gravy, corn (on and off the cob), sliced tomatoes, coleslaw, chili sauce (yum yum), rolls and 4 types of pie. Many dinners sampled all four, lemon meringue, pumpkin, peach and apple. They serve 450-500 paying quests and then serve the staff, some 75 to 100 persons, volunteers all.
I still am experiencing hiccups, usually at night, but I believe it is a side effect of the anti-nausea medication. They only seem to occur in the first few days following the treatments, when I am taking the Amend and they are a listed side effect.
THIS IS NOT PG
This may be too much information for some, but I think I know why they had trouble with my port. I am NOT small breasted LOL, and when the port was installed, I was laying flat on my back and the girls where unrestrained, trying to escape to my armpits. When they try to access the port, I am sitting upright with a bra on, so the angle changes. Hopefully this insight, along with some topical anesthetic cream will make the next treatment go smoother.
Hopefully, we are heading up to the cottage later today, until sometime on Tuesday. I am teaching a 6:00 that night so I have to be home. The kids will be fending for themselves again.
A correction to my chemo list - the herceptin will last one full year. The first 3 month combined with Paclitaxel (4 cycles) then will continue for 9 more month (total of 16 cycles) for one year total.

at least you can wear a bra. when they inserted my port they did so so that it wouldn't interfere with my bra straps. they didn't take into consideration, though, that i'm thin and athletically build. thing doesn't interfere with the straps - it interferes with the cups and gets smooshed (and causes extreme pain) whenever i wear anything that even remotely touches it. it looks so horrible even i can't look at it. funny...my female nurses think it looks fine, whereas my male nurses agree with me that someone wasn't paying the right attention when inserting it. interesting, no? take care and feel good!
