Although the topic of my  new book, Stepping Thru Chemotherapy, is anything but humorous, I try to interject humor to keep it from being clinical. Also, it makes for an easier read. With that thought I’d like to share an excerpt. This paragraph is from Chapter One, Infusion Ports. The chapter discusses what a port is and where it is placed for infusion chemotherapy (not all chemotherapy is done via infusion).

Some doctors use surgical glue to close the wound, others use stitches. Mine used surgical glue which was my first time with that interesting product. I gave the doctor some points since I didn’t have to wait around several days so they could remove the sutures. The surgical glue falls off eventually – about two or three weeks later. That’s what they told me. Hmm… it took about four weeks for me. You are not supposed to pull it off, but as it starts to come off by itself you can trim it up. Right. Try doing that with a pair of manicure scissors looking in a mirror and using your non-dominate hand. Time to ask for help.
