I had a pediatric port- tiny and perfect. I am not a little person either. Barely noticeable under the skin, above my left breast, under the bra strap... I went through chemo and a year of Herceptin with no problem. Just had it removed last month!

I too, had to ask for this small one. Has it placed at outpatient surgery under general anesthesia and had first chemo same day. Had it removed in 15 minutes in doc's office.
