Good luck!
Thanks for the response, I do have some questions if you don't mind....

How much did the surgery hurt and what was the recovery time?

Have had the same port for those 12 years?

Do you flush it with just saline or saline with heparin?

Are you planning on keeping the port longer, does you doctor talk about removing it?

Thanks

Joe
