Hi Von, i had a port put in under heavy sedation... i dont remember a thing, only thing i found was the seatbelt annoyed it but i bought a sheepskin cover for it & now its fine, doesnt bother it at all.
When chemo finished i requested it be left in. Now, a year after chemo finished its still there & there it will stay. Makes everything sooo much easier, blood tests, ct scans, bone scans all thru the port instead of digging for a vein.. I have also had it accessed once at short notice without numbing cream, hurts no more than a regular blood test...
