Hi - I have a powerport with the 3 little dots on it. Mine was implanted on the right side ( 2 nodes only taken) under anaesthetic. It was used for all my chemos (weekly for 12 weeks) and I am having it removed this month, also under anaesthetic. Some of the nurses in my Oncology clinic were unfamiliar with it but found it very easy after instruction. They have a booklet which you are given to take to each session, also a bracelet to wear in hospital. Hope your staff can get hold of a booklet, and that you can get one. Your third! - you are probably more up to date than they are! All the very best - Michelle
