Re: Port question.
Like Steph I only had sedation rather than a general for the insertion of my port and could go swimming with it and do everything I was used to. I think the one you mention is harder to care for and open to infection, I was very happy with the Bard chest port although initially I refused it but when my veins protested I had no choice and it became my best friend and was removed with only a local.
