    Double
    I have a double port, each one is about the size of a nickel.
    The link has a photo of it, it's in the upper left area.
    Best thing I ever had done as far as treatment goes. At times it would not give blood return but a flow test confirmed it is fine and it still works great after 6 years. I don't know how people can stand to have their veins destroyed.

    Hey Jennie,
    Back in the day
    Hey Jennie,
    Back in the day I would have had a tremendous amount of fun responding to the question, "How big is yours?" I think I've got too much FOLFOX running through me right now to come up with anything. Mine is about the size of a medium banana - I mean a nickel. It hasn't drawn in several treatments. I'll get a new one put in soon when my platelets go back up. Aside from that I haven't had any problems. Everything seems to working fine and the nurses are always impressed.
    How the BP today?
