Researchers are working to identify which methods of administration will be most effective for each individual.

yes, I completed a 96 hour drip of 5 FU in a fanny pack style bag. I started on a tuesday and took it with me to Walmart, pick my kids up from school and even to my radiation appointments. When my time was up home health came to my house and unhooked it and that was the end of that. I start my last dose a week from now. I will get hooked up at my oncologists office, go nextdoor to my radiation doctor and then have my mom drive me the hour home. THursday after my radiation appointment the company that is doing it will meet me at the doc's office and remove it. Now to do this I had to have a port put into my upper chest in my artery. Simple procedure done at the hospital. A weeks recovery and I was good to go. I am a 41 year old female with squamous cell carcinoma and a rectal mass.

Yes the porta cad is nice. I took my mom last week to the dr's office to have one put into her arm and it only took 15 mins. The only thing is that she can't get it wet due to the fact that it will get infected. You really have to take care of the site where they implanted (?) it. She has rectal cancer and she goes to the oncologist office every 2 weeks for the chemo infusion for 3 hours and b/f she leaves they administer the chemo through her porta cad for 48hrs. I take her back to have it taken off, I flush it with saline solution and heprin the week b/f she is due to go back for the next session of chemo so that she won't develop blood clots. So far so good.
