My husband was given injections at MD Anderson in Orlando 7 days/28 days. After going to Dr. Hussein in Leesburg they changed him to IV. He had problems with the veins and he was frustrated every time he went in for it, so decided to have a port put in. Much easier. He has never had 7 days continuous, due to the office being closed, so it is Mon-Fri, Sat and Sun off and again the following week Mon and Tues.
To shower we just put cling wrap over the port connections and tape on sides and top. Keeps it dry and it is fine. It is removed on the weekends so he gets a break.
