Ports

Hi Anne! You hang in there. My wife, Nicola, had a Bard port implanted in 2005, and they had to recline her so that her feet were pointing in the air, and they said her port was "temperamental", lol. I can't remember the exact date, but that port failed and then they put in the power port and it worked great. They could access it, inject the dye for CAT scans, and then she would just walk down the hall for treatment. She also had nosebleeds when she was on herceptin. God bless you all, Bill
