Hi Jo, how was the surgery and how do you like the neobladder? The oncologist at the beginning denied the port. And the new oncologist also denied the port??? Anyway my brother is very hard to come back for treatment b/c of the awful time he had with the nurse putting in the IV. It rang on the monitor for about 1 hour. It bubbled right away and I alerted the nurse and she ignored for an hour. Finally I had to get another nurse to put a new one in. Well she searched all over his poor forearms making this treatment unbearable. We are trying to get the doctor to order & schedule the port asap. How soon did you start treatment after your port was put in? Thank you so much. Jo
