I have a port too. Mine was put in July 29, 2007. It has made chemo and having bloodwork done so much easier. Its also very handy for if you get dehydrated and need IV fluids, it goes thru the port.
Please make it easier for people to help you by adding a brief description of what you have explained in your post to your signature. That can be done by clicking on My stuff and updating your profile. I wish you the best of luck with your continued battle.
