Matthew's port insertion was uneventful. Matthew was home sleeping when I spoke with Dad. The port will be used for the chemotherapy, but also can be used to easily draw blood or give other medications. Chemotherapy can damage skin and muscle tissues, so this should help prevent this from happening. It will also prevent Matthew from having to have quite as many needle sticks. The veins can harden after frequent sticks, which would then make it more difficult to access a vein.
Anyway, all is well. Will update when I have more.
