Hi Nadine, now seriously, low blood pressure & exercise just don't mix! Kudos to those ladies who can exercise on chemo, but like you I was passing out with low bp. Great idea to have the port, I ended up with a picc line after weeks of failed IV and bruises all over. The port will just make things so much easier for you.

Good luck with the port insertion tomorrow, Tracey??
