Hi Susan,

I dreaded having a port and didn't have one fitted until half way through my chemo and really wish I had had it sooner as it really became my best friend and saved me so much stress when my veins refused to work! I was just a little sore for about a week and then it settled down, you've been through a lot but each day is bringing you to the end of this so good luck and do keep us posted!
