Hi Steph,
I thought of you all day on Tuesday. I agree, it is not easy to get a port in and out. I had my taken out after my first treatment, and then, off course had to get a new one in 2004. I can't remember anything about that surgery. I do remember the first one because I refused any meds, and refusued to be put out. They just did a local. I got off the table when they were done and was able to leave. That was during the days when I was fearful of being being put out.

It seems like when it rains, it pours. Sorry about that plumbing situation! Of most importance, I hope that you heal quickly and that this port works for you. My new port is much smaller. However, it has twisted and is harder to access.

Best wishes for a quick recovery and keep us updated.
