Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 51 | Paul ended up getting a bacterial infection from his 1st port and spent a week in the hospital while they tried to figure out and treat the exact type of infection. He ended up have to postpone chemo for another week so the could remove the port and put a new one on the other side. He hasn't had any problem with the 2nd one.
