HI cook65,
Can you please let me know what do you mean "Make sure that you put some emla gel on 2 hours before your port is to be accessed to help with any discomfort. "
Is that before it is fitted for the first time as I do not even know where it is being fitted? I think its on the chest somewhere.
Mine is supposed to remain under the skin for the whole treatment, as far as I understood.
That's good that your chemo buddies and you make a day out of the day you are having chemo. I am sure that if there are regulars having treatment same day as you, you tend to become friends too.That will be good for the moral too sharing the experience. Thanks for your post and have a nice weekend.
