Hi Michele,
Your port will make things so much easier - just be sure to rub on the Emla cream half an hour or so beforehand and it will be numb during treatment.

A lot of us found chemo much better than we thought it would be - a hope you will be one of us! What is your chemo regime? Different drugs have different reactions. For me the 12 x weekly infusions were okay until the very last one when I became dizzy. Write down all your reactions - if any - to tell your nurse/MO.
Wishing you all the best for Friday. (I had my port put in the day before, too.) xx Michelle
