Anyone else have a slimport procedure.

Mine is a "Smart Port" but I suspect there's little difference. I had mine fitted a week before the first chemo. Surgery was easy - under general. A couple of stitches above it.  Mine was uncomfortable for a few weeks and the skin above it still looks a bit bruised.  It still is a little uncomfortable at times. I had a bad experience the first time they tried to access it but that is really unusual.  While I can't wait for it to be gone, it is wonderful to have.  Taking blood and chemo administration is so easy and quick and so much easier on the veins.  You can use local anaesthetic credit on it if you're concerned about getting the needle in.  It is supposedly a straightforward procedure under local to remove.  I would definitely recommend it.
