arm port

Hi There,
Also bilat and had the arm port on the side that no lymph nodes were removed. Did not have any problems with chemo and would do it again. They never left the needle in and it was ready the next day. Just a little tenderness for the first day or so then it was A OK.
As for first time on Friday....we were all full of nerves before the first infusion. But fear not....you are fighting the beasties !!! Folks in the infusion room are very supportive....no question is to silly so get all the info you need from the nurse team to make your stay better. Take something to snack on, some drinks, some hard candy, maybe something to read, blankie, or just enjoy the folks .
Remember that we have all been there and done that. Ask away...any question. Take care...Hugs, Bonnie
