Lauren got a port catheter surgically placed in her right chest wall (RCW in the medical world). This port is a small medical appliance that is installed beneath the skin. It has a septum through which drugs can be injected and blood samples can be drawn many times with less dicomfort. This will be best when getting chemo. Tomorrow, she is getting her fourth treatment of Rituxan and was told she will probably go home :-)
