Port Catheter


I finally got my port "installed," yesterday. It hurts more than I thought. A port is bascially a small appliance, about the size of a quater, that is placed under the skin. The catheter,a small tube, is what connects the port to the vein. This is how I will be getting my chemo treatments and blood drawn.

  3. Hey girly! I just read about what you've been going through. I'm in total shock and can't quit thinking about you and your family. You are such a strong and brave woman! I'm praying for you and your sweet family and I want to help out. Watch kids, grocery shop, clean, whatever I can do. I will give you a call in the next day or two. XOXO
