I understand. My veins lasted only a year and it is so nice to have the port. I did a high dose Cytoxan reboot 3 years ago and it was great to just let the port do the working. Having your hands free during infusions is a big bonus as well.

My daughter was just a toddler when I got my first one, and she misunderstood what I was calling it and so she would refer to it as my "pork." Twelve years later, it's still my "pork" around here. Feel free to use that for yours as well! Humor helps any situation!
