And if it saves you from having to have them poke around for a vein for your treatments that's a good thing. <br /><br />However, I guess it must be kind of a nuisance as you have to be careful not to dislodge it or get it wet.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861800118812717755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479782985101649883.post-11638318168335173392010-05-24T20:47:22.052-06:002010-05-24T20:47:22.052-06:00I still have my port in .

That was one thing that I was glad of....no needles at all for the length of time it was in. The day of my last infusion they removed it. Showering is NOT fun though.
