Re: Ports...which is the best?
Colleen had a dual port for end of life care installed. She ended up living and defeated the whole purpose of the dual port. The dual port clogged up twice as fast, twice as often and was a twice as hard to clean out. It was a chestful of grief. I wanted to get it back when she had it removed so I could put it on the railroad tracks, but the surgeon said I couldn't have it.
