Hi Marie; I'm glad they're doing something about your port. My first port lasted 2 and 1/2 years, then the catheter broke and it all had to be taken out and replaced. That one was hard to infuse and draw from, I kept having to get my Herceptin through an arm vein instead, so after about 6 months of that it was replaced with one that has the catheter threaded into my shoulder vein, and it has worked beatifully for over a year...Try not to worry, I know it's easier said than done, but keep us posted.

<3,
Lolly
