i have a port as my treatment is continual..i have one compromised arm and the veins in my 'good' arm are quite fine & deep.. all the chemo drugs, scans & treatments over the past 2.5 yrs have punished them a little. My chemo drugs have always gone thru my port, it is painless (u can use numbing cream b4 u go for ur infusion) ..it is a relatively small/easy operation to have it inserted and u can have it removed when u no longer need it..
i would highly recommend having one, hope my input helps u make the right decision for u
