Sheila,

Boy I hope you get better Christmas presents than a power port- but at least you can brag it is the latest model. I don't have a power port, but they have used my port for surgery and PET and MRI injections and lots of blood draws (oncology office and the hospital). It is the handiest little thing and I mean little. It is called a P.A.S. Port and it is small and placed next to my bicep on my inner part of my upper arm. I hardly notice it. Not sure if this would be applicable to you, but wanted gals and guys to know that chest ports are not the only option.

Good luck with your surgery and I am trying that chocolate trick too!
