I will ask my onc and surgery about this new Pressure Port. Do you know where they usually insert this port?

Will also ask my onc about having echoes, one less poke sounds good to me.

Joanne my lung was punchure during the insert of the port. They say sometimes this happens. I was just one of the lucky ones.

I would like to thank you all for your positive comments. I really needed this evening.

I was at my cousin's wake this afternoon. He died Friday at the age of 37 of lung cancer. We meet up alot at the chemo room. Ronnie was very quiet and shy. He wasn't sick very long. After I left the wake and was on my long drive home, it really hit me....... this cancer. I am so busy being strong that it finally hit home. I had to be strong, I have been doing this journey alone. I have family and friends, but no body understands really what you go through. That is why this board is so great. The support here is unbelievable. Many thanks to you all.
