Becoming bionic aka getting an implantable chamber or catheter.
I think Nietzsche had it right. You’ve got to learn to love your fate, otherwise it will just make you bitter and quite possibly very boring.
Getting a port is anything but boring, I share the story of getting the port implanted, and a little bit about what it's like to be the proud owner of a port.

Episode 5: My Bionic Portacath

What to do when you have a serious or recurrent cancer and chemo is the new black? This podcast is all about ways of dealing with recurrent cancer, managing treatment side effects, improving quality of life, finding hope and meaning, and hopefully, healing. 

The presenter is an Australian psychologist living in France with four year’s experience of dealing with recurrent ovarian cancer, although the topics relate to many types of cancer, as the episodes deal with  questions that have come up for the presenter and also for so many others in the support groups and forums, as common themes for people dealing with cancer.

This channel is an opportunity to learn from others’ experiences, and the podcast episodes are informed by psychological and other research on what helps people facing the various situations that come up when living with cancer.

The episodes include practical therapy exercises that are commonly used in psychology therapy intervention, and also, hopefully, a few laughs!
