Chemotherapy

"My chemo treatments would begin in a week, via a Grosjean [|catheter] implanted in my chest, and they would last for three months. I would require so many blood tests and intravenous drugs that it was impractical to use standard individual IV needles, so the Grosjean catheter was unavoidable. It was frightening to look at, bulging under my skin, and the opening in my chest seemed unnatural, almost like a gill." (77)

[|Information of Lance's chemotherapy]

Lance (after dealing with [|alopecia]) and his mother during chemo.

"LaTrice gave as good as she got. She would tease me back, even when I was too ill to laugh." LaTrice was Lance's oncology nurse and over his time in the hospital they became good friends. She had a great effect on his life.
