Dear Anne,
I have had problems with first port, it was removed as they could not get labs, had to use a pump to do chemo. I have one of the new power ports and it works wonderful. Was installed by radiation intervention specialist. Not every general surgeon knows how to get them to work. I'm pleased it's working. Had a hiccup last week and the onc thought it wasn't working correctly, they ran a Doppler test on the port and it was getting good blood flow through the part that is not in the chest. I can't explain it, just part of the whole mechanism. I hope it continues to work wel. Have a happy holiday season and let me know what your surgeon has to say.
