The Port, Part one
My veins were all screwed up, due to having gotten chemo in the past and only having one 'good' arm to use. So the decision was made, by me and my doctor, to put in a port. I could have not done it. But that would have meant spending a week in the hospital, both at the beginning and end of treatment to get 'infused' with the 5-FU. No thanks. I'll do that port thing.
It's surgery. Here I am getting ready to have the port inserted below my clavicle.

Glad you opted for a port. Other options not so great. I was expecting a little glass of wine on the little doll...port...get it? Hope all went well.

This is difficult to read, but i'm sure, more difficult to live thru.
