My granddaughter was a Wilms' Tumor stage IV patient in Madison, WI.  She was four years old at the onset of her cancer.  A Hickman catheter was inserted into her chest for her medication.

The problem of taping up the capped tube so it would not hang down resulted in skin irritation and many tears.  After watching the tedious removal of the tape and the flow of tears, I knew there had to be a simple solution to the problem.  After some careful thought, and some trial and error, I devised a shirt that would hold the dangling tube.  Initially Samantha had only one tube and the apparatus worked wonderfully.  The following year, a double tube replaced the single tube and the closure held both tubes without any trouble.

The name "Sammie's Tops" was chosen in honor of my granddaughter.
