Re: Who else has a Power Port?
The Bard power port is the newest kind, state of the art. These can be accessed for just about every need/test that either has to have a blood draw or receive medications.

Herceptin - Study
I did check this. There is a study currently going on that is to be completed around Oct/Nov. and that's the study I am trying to get some information about. I'm not sure if it is in Europe or the US.
