Betty,
I wish that I didn't know what you are going through with the port, but unfortunately I do. My daughter had one for her chemo treatments. She opted to keep it in for three years after her treatments ended, just in case. She had ovarian cancer and had to take chemo every day for 16 weeks. I am happy and thankful to report that she has been cancer free for 5 years now! I'm glad to see that you are not letting your situation keep you from doing the things that you love. Best wish for improving health.

Doug
