The first step to chemo is the surgical insertion of the 'port'. It sounds scary at first as it is difficult to imagine what this port thing is. I must admit that the company Medcomp gives out a nice brochure package explaining the 'new family member' but that is only after the op. So to prepare future 'port' owners I have added the web adress of Medcomp where you can download brochures and a nice animation video explaining this new 'family addition'. Kirstin has elected not to name hers as according to her, the port is a squatter. For foreign visitors a squatter in SA is someone who takes up illegal residence on anothers land. For those that are in a hurry to see 'the port', I have posted the video clip for your convenience but it is still worth your while to go onto the Medcomp site to download the brochure.
