@CeeCee I have the chest cemo port, my oncologist suggested it and it was a good move! I remember the anaesthetist saying to me that I was about to get my new best friend just before they knocked me out to put it in...I'm needle phobic too so it helped me a lot. You still feel the needle going in when they access it but I was given local anisthetic cream to put on before I left home to numb it, I'd recommend getting that. I'll get my port out after I'm done with the radiation.
@Katie46 that's disappointing that your radiation didn't start but good they are looking after you! I start it tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes.
@Paris_24 good to know you're going ok.
