Anthony gets a PORT tomorrow at Primary Children's Hospital

Anthony is scheduled to have a bone marrow test, a spinal chord test, chemo in the spinal chord and the regular chemo he usually gets on Thursdays at Primary Children's hospital tomorrow.

He is still coughing and has an infected sore on his cheek from where he rubs his face.

He seems weaker than he has been and doesn't spend much time out of bed.

If all goes well, he won't have to have the twice daily oral chemo he has been getting
since they diagnosed his Leukemia, after tomorrow.

This is from wikipedia but there are no sources:

In medicine, a port (or portacath) is a small medical appliance that is installed beneath the skin. A catheter connects the port to a vein. Under the skin, the port has a septum through which drugs can be injected and blood samples can be drawn many times, usually with less discomfort for the patient than a more typical "needle stick".

Ports are used mostly to treat hematology and oncology patients, but recently ports have been adapted also for hemodialysis patients.

The port is usually inserted in the upper chest, just below the clavicle or collar bone, leaving the patient's hands free.
