Hi Alsopt, I think I would feel the same way with my new fear of needles. Could you ask for a muscle relaxant like valium beforehand? I had this for a procedure with local a few years ago and it really helped.
I had my port put in a week and half ago. Had oncology nurses use it today for the first time to take blood and it was not how I expected. took 3 goes to get it in and then hurt like having a thumb tack pushed through my chest. Now really worried about using it tomorrow for chemo. And here I thought it would be better than all those cannula attempts.
