Port

Hi Linda,
Inserting a port is quite complicated and it is often done with the aid of imaging guidance (X-ray) where the surgeon can see exactely where the catheter from the port is situated. This type of operations are done by sugeons. Hope Al will accept a port.

Persons with our kind of diseases are often used to low counts and not so high oxygen level. My doctor was surprised when I told him that I felt OK with HGB 70 at dx - I only felt a little breathless after long stairs.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
