I really liked the port and had to fight to get one as my 2nd onc was against them. The A/C ruined my good veins and it just got harder and harder to draw blood. I must say though that in spite of good report I did have to have mine removed because of a mystery staph infection that came 8 months after installation. It was traumatic to me having it pulled but it really made me sick. I am just now healing up enough to have another put in. I would be very careful when others access it being sure correct proceedures are followed, and certainly will be more concerned about that with the new one. I have to have surgery for Oopharectomy so I will have a new one then while I am out! I am so sick of being cut-up and poked. Feel like a jerk for saying that when there are so many others with bigger longer ordeals! Hope this info helps...
