A chemo port (port-a-cath) is a thin, disc-shaped medical device made of plastic & about the size of a quarter. Dr. Gerges implants it above your breast or below your collarbone, just under the skin. It feeds medication intravenously through a large vein directly into your heart.

When veins become swollen, enlarged & ropey, they are referred to as varicose veins. They form when your vein valves malfunction, causing blood to flow backward & pool. In most cases, varicose veins are only a cosmetic concern, but they can also itch, burn & tingle. www.ivascularcenter.com
