So Dr. Hubbard tells me that he's going to do surgery to stick one of these in my chest...under my skin. This will be the IV port in which they will administer the chemo drugs. What? The tube goes INTO the veins in your heart. What? They stick the IV needle through your skin and into the rubber "button" on the port. What? Not a fan.
A buddy of mine had a blood disease and used her port almost daily ... very convenient ... if you have to have one that is :)
