Hi Kazza81 I don't know the medical answer to your question, but I am sure your nurse would be happy to answer if you send them a message or call them. I had all my tests yesterday ready to start EC on Tuesday. I am going to get a port, but not before then as the guy is on holiday until Monday. On the exercise/weight front I am also anxious. I started on Slimming World in May after ballooning in lockdown (and before if we're being honest), and got back into daily walks and alternate days yoga/cardio. 4 months later, 4 stone lighter, I am now worried about not being able to exercise as much and/or not enjoying food, and/or being offered biscuits and chocolate during chemo or by well meaning friends, and/or steroid weight gain, to undo all the good stuff I have done so far. I have had at least 1lb off every week, even through diagnosis and surgery, so I completely understand how this additional feeling of out of control is affecting you, I feel the same. Good luck - sending hugs
