Hi Lois,
It is made of Titanium and I think the manufacturer is Boston Scientific - the product name is Vaxcel...they cut a slit in my neck to thread the catheter in and then made a pocket under the skin below my right clavicle for the port. It is nasty looking right now but I imagine that it will just look like a bump with a scar above it later. It is about the size of a quarter... I just didn't want to get one because it feels like another concession to this disease but I guess it is what it is...I was very relieved to get IVIg again - it was a very long five weeks. How have you been? It has been beautiful in Minnesota the last two days but I guess a storm is headed our way for the weekend. The sunshine and 50 degree weather sure felt good after that stretch of sub-zero temps. I hope things are going well for you.
Gabrielle
