Von I didnt have a port, but am left with severe arm cording due to Chemo, I think you'll feel better with the Port however. I also think too, the longer the journey and what you have faced there are absolutely moments when all of a sudden you lose your footing and feel you can't face or do the things you would normally step up and do. After my recurrence in 2015 and finishing Dec 2015, all last year I couldnt face needles or hospitals I found myself starting to have a panic attack. SO NOT ME. I did find though with recent surgery all of that settled down. So I think it is moments and we then gather our footing and keep going. Hugs Melinda xo
