U.S. Air Force Capt. Catherine White, 86th Medical Squadron oncology nurse, shows Terri Lukens, right, former breast cancer patient, and her husband then Chief Master Sgt. Richard Lukens, left, 52nd Maintenance Group chief enlisted manager, a model of a chemotherapy treatment port, similar to the one implanted in Terri, at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, Mar. 2, 2017. Ports are usually surgically implanted in the upper chest of cancer patients, connecting a catheter to a vein near the heart. They are made of a silicone septum which allows a needle to pass through for chemotherapy treatment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Preston Cherry)
