"Portia" has entered the chat

One of the things that was the most anxiety-inducing, besides the diagnosis itself, was getting the port installed. It was described as a "button in your chest," which was super weird. Albeit freaked and a little grossed out, Casey did what Casey does and tried to find humor in the situation... some may say it's a deflection... and promptly named her port. In keeping with her gay, diva-esque self, "Portia" has entered the chat!

The procedure went well, and ultimately there is no getting around this, so we will embrace our girl, Portia, and, I'm sure, learn to love her and what she is here for.

Chemo started on Sept 25. So far, symptoms are fairly mild, with a little discomfort, fatigue, and skin sensitivity. Let's hope it stays that way.
