Ports are great
My husband got one last April and was told he would have it for up to a year and half, so it is great like William all they have to do is flush it every 6-8 weeks after you don't use it so much. Take care of him, and know we are all here.

My husband was soooo glad he had his port put in, his is also the Bard port, like Williams. The doctors at Mayo recommended he get one before he started treatment, but his Oncologist here in town discouraged it. He said the risk for infection was greater than the benefits of it. He wishes he would have listened to the Mayo doc and had it put in right away. It is so much easier. Even at our trip to the ER went smoother, no need for IV. They were able to draw blood from it as well as administer fluids. Very convenient.0
