We went to get Michele's port put in today. It is a little plastic catheter that sits under the skin and will allow for the chemo and blood draws without having to get poked in a vein. She is pretty sore but happy that she won't have to endure further prodding in her already unhappy veins.

We also attended a "Chemo 101" class and learned more about the procedure and some of the possible side affects. Interesting/scary/encouraging... judging by the other people in the class, we are handling this all pretty well.
