Judy had her port installed yesterday. The port is a device that is inserted below the skin on her arm. IV needles for taking blood samples and injecting chemo are given through the port. The port has a long tube that follows the cardiac vein to her heart. When she got up this morning, there was no pain remaining from the procedure to install the port.
Having a port allows Judy to shower without having to wrap her arm in saran wrap.
Chemo starts tomorrow at 8:15.
