My husband is set to start chemo on Monday. He will be doing the Macdonald Regime. If any of you have heard or had this regime please comment. Any advice will be appreciated. Three days ago he had a port implanted in his upper left shoulder. Last night he touched it and heard fluid slushing around. Any of you had this? A bit worried. Will call surgeon later this morning.

    It isn't the most beautiful thing you will see, but by the time you read this, you probably already knew that it isn't that bad. :)
