Hey Rick . I just found this thread. My daughter Elizabeth had three portacaths before she was done and when they took out the last one she asked if she could keep it. She realy was glad to have it and missed it the first year out and about. (MRI's are easyer with them ) ( 4 a year)
          Its such tough work your doing now but your doing it. On the sidelines we cheer ! . As one who helped a loved one going through it I wish for you the insperation that brings the magic needed. Great good things to you !
