Hi Tracy,
A port is one of the easier bits of this whole journey (as is the ultrasound and especially any non-invasive tests!). I really hate blood tests and needles now so for me, the port has been great. Pretty easy little procedure - they give you lots of sedation and I didn't feel it. Get my chemo in there now (and all blood tests!).
I've also had cording - another annoying thing to deal with. Have been seeing OT and having massage/light laser and its still taking ages. My surgery was November and I've still got the cording issue now. It has been frustrating.
You'll probably find going through chemo that there are lots of little things that pop up - that you don't expect.
Good luck with your chemo.
