On Monday, the doctor (the Dr. was Roger Cronk, my high school friend's dad) installed the port:
This morning, they hooked her all up with a pump, petite chemo bag, and handy dandy fanny pack!
Mom says the only side effects she's feeling so far are dry, tickling, "it-feels-like-knives-are-pricking-away-at-my-throat" kind of sensations. Sounds awesome! For her bravery, she received this awesome gift pack full of advertisements from leading pharmaceutical companies:
It includes 2 blankets, 2 pairs of gloves, a book about colorectal cancer, a coffee mug, and a pair of socks with gel-warmer packs. She is a winner!
The doctors don't want mom around crowds of people or little children. She needs to take it easy, but also keep active in order to keeps things circulating.

Those scars look painful, but I'm sure they're a walk in the park compared to the chemo. Will you lose your hair this time? That would really be the pitts. Love you Jan
