Hi there,
I, like Margerie, have a PAS port also. I just love mine. It's easy to use and in an "out of the way" place. The docs don't usually offer this unless you ask. A friend who went through chemo told me about it (she had one)- otherwise I would have never known they exist. A radiologist put mine in with a local and it only took about 15 minutes. Honestly, unless its in use, I forget that I even have one.
Love, Kelly
