The Port is so cool!

Hi all, just wanted to say how amazing the Port is! I had it accessed for the first time yesterday and it was great. I was quite nervous about it, but it was so quick, easy and painless...amazing! It was less stressful for me and the nurses, and I have no black and blue, painful arms which is wonderful. I didn't need the Emla patch...I think my pain threshold has increased due to all the poking and prodding in the past! The hospital said they would supply me with some if I needed them in the future though which is good.

Thank you to all you ladies who commented and supported me throughout making the great decision to have the Port put in. I am so glad I raised the issue on this site and that you took the time to share with me your experiences. Take care, Celeste xx

  • Well done Celeste, I knew you would be pleased to get the port they are so good. Did you get the PowerPort? If you did you can get your CT dye done through there as well which is a little bit more painful as the needle is fatter but it is well worth not having them hunt around for a vein to use.

    I hope it continues to be of great benefit to you.

    All the best
