Adriamycin/doxorubicin. Gotta love it cos it kills those pesky cancer cells... hate it cos it kills ya at the same time too, just slower. This stuff must be nasty...

(pic below linked from Bard website, the maker of the port in Annie's left chest that leads up to her collar bone and then into her vein and into her right atrium of her heart)
