    Good luck!  Sure you will

    Good luck!  Sure you will feel better that you don't have to worry about the port.  My husband just got his in a few weeks ago.  What fun!

    I had problems with mine like

    I had problems with mine like that. I'd have to cough over and over and swing my arms around and one time they had me march up and down the hallway and it never would open up. I finally had to have it removed when it started coming through the skin. I'd had it for a little over a year at that point. I have a very ugly scar from it and it's noticable. I catch people staring at it.

    Double Diamond works wonders...

    and so does a good port. 

    I hope this port does its job properly for you, as they really are a blessing.
