Hi
I am not familiar with the vita port brand of Port. I have a friend
that has a 6 mo. old recently diagnosed with retino blastoma.
She had a Vitaport place a to receive chemo . The port came apart at the hub
after one treatment. The oncologist wanted it replaced the next day. The
surgeon just reconnected the tubing and put in more
stitches to secure the port. He said it probably happened when the mom
lifted the baby. She is worried that it will happen again and is
afraid to left the baby. She scoops her up but is still worried. I
am not familiar with this brand of port Is it that fragile in small
children.? Can it happen again. Can any Peds nurse advise me? (Ann Marie
Frey or Darcy in Ohio ? Please mail me privately with any
response. I just want to reassure my friend . Having to deal with chemo is
more than enough thanks for your help in advance.
