Roberto had a PICC line placed in his left arm. The process required wire threading, a scalpel, plastic tubes, and a malfunctioning magnetic sensor. The nurse was very experienced with placing PICC lines, so the unhappy sensor didn't slow her down at all. There is now a long tube inside Roberto's arm that stretches from near his elbow to near his heart! The PICC line will stay in Roberto through the duration of chemotherapy since all the medication will be administered through injections (intravenously). The PICC line means Roberto won't have to be pricked over and over again.
Roberto also got a CT scan so we can see if the tumor has changed at all.
