Port-a-Cath Chest Shield for physical activities..sports
My 11 Y.O. son is on Cycl therapy, week 14, after ATG treatment for Severe A.A. His numbers for ANC and platelets and RBC are high enough to allow him some physical activity..but the question is, HOW DO WE PROTECT THE PORT AREA FROM IMPACT? I have searched the web for a shield / contraption and can find nothing, absolutely nothing for this purpose! Bizarre. Any suggestions, links, etc.? (The hospital's PT department can "make" him one they say, but I don't think insurance covers it..so I am trying to make one of my own..but I'm awful with that sort of thing and have failed twice already!)
