Port Insertion Tomorrow
Hi All I'm having a port inserted into my chest tomorrow prior to starting chemo next week (my veins are too fragile to cope with lots of needles apparently). Just wondered if anyone had any advice ...
I was sedated when mine was inserted @ The Northern Hospital, I remember nothing but having it inserted was one of the best decisions I ever made & my Oncologist agreed it could stay in even when Chemo was over, makes blood tests etc soooooo much easier..
I suffered no pain at all, though I bought a sheepskin seat belt cover as I found the seat belt annoyed it a bit.
