He will enjoy having the port put in for sure. One little pick each chemo session both for the blood draw and the infusion of chemo.
What type of chemo drugs is he scheduled to receive?
Did they stage his cancer? Where is his primary cancer located?
Please keep us posted as many of us will be pulling for both you and him.
