My port is scheduled to be removed on March 13. I have a double port, and the only explanation I ever got for the size of my port was from the wondersful nurses who commented "UVA is a teaching hospital, and that is what they must have been teaching that day." So I have lived with a double port for 18 months, and I am ready to let it rip. If I break a leg, you put on a new cast--not the old one...that's my theory! I also seem to have a larger tube in my neck, and I am ready to quit hiding behind collars and turtlenecks!
