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 ...
@Fiona2 I to have found everything possible with the port in place, I intend on keeping mine in place for as long as I am allowed. I have had it accessed a couple of times without having had the Emla & found it hurts no more being accessed than a normal in the vein blood test does. &&& like you I find the seat-belt can annoy me as it sits right on it so I just bought a sheepskin cover & that works a treat.
