Re: Port Placement

Hi just got my Power Port put in Nov 22nd and had my first chemo session yesterday. Having no trouble with the port, the needle hurt a little going in but went straight to the pharmacy after and got the Emla cream for my next session. Think in the long run this is the best route to go.
