You know when you get a splinter, your skin around it hurts/itches/burns? That’s how this port feels, for now. It will heal in another week. There are two incision points and this quarter-sized knob is just below the skin. The port has this soft space where they will use to inject chemotherapy. A tube goes from the port, under my skin, to a large vein in my neck. It’s better than stabbing my arm or hand every time. This port stays implanted as long as I need chemo. Maybe more than a year.
We will meet with the doctor this morning for his plan to see what med’s they’ll be using and for how long. Bracing for side effects.

Probably better than feeling like a pin cushion all the time — I hope. Speaking of hope, I know you have that great hope within you that regardless of what happens, Christ will prevail. Praying intensely for you that the side effects will be minimal and perhaps none at all.🙏🙏🙏🙏
