Lobular carcinoma first chemotherapy today

I wouldn't say that I liked my port but, after a bit of a rocky start with it, I was extremely thankful to have followed the advice of the onc and the chemo nurses, and to have had the info from the wonderful people on this site to make the decision to go ahead.  When I had my chemo treatments, having blood taken and then the drugs infused was straightforward and fast compared to those who didn't have a port - no struggling to find veins each time.  I still have a scar from it but it is shrinking and fading (I think I had it out in October or November last year).

@"Patti J" The new generation ports can have blood taken (I believe the older ones were only for drugs going in).
