Thanks. Some do get infections. Usually MRSA is hospital (healthcare) acquired, and some community based. I had MRSA, staph, sepsis, septic shock, c-diff, invasive candiasis, and many others, but not from the port or feeding tube, and was in isolation for 6 months in the hospital with gown, and gloves required for anyone entering, so I know how you feel. They left mine in for TPN feedings, and was in no condition for any surgery or even completing treatment back then, and used the port less than a month ago for chemo treatment, and a blood transfusion. Basically, I have been having some kind of treatment, surgery, transfusion or in recovery for three continuous years, so I doubt it's coming out anytime soon, until after a clean scan or two or unless I get an infection lol.
