@Primek no I was the latest and greatest bran new procedure. Actually upperarm on the innerside. Had port at freemasons richmond under anaesthetic.
Chemo nurses on oncology ward were very impressed had trouble putting needle in as on an angle. On day oncology also had problem size of needle to be used eventually resolved. Unusual port.
I even have my official port card advising emergency staff I had a port. As I saw the surgeon for the procedure. I had the port removed when I had lumpectomy. Had chemo prior surgery.
