Port is the only way.
I think you should always insist that an onc nurse do your blood draws so they can be done through your port. It's the only way to go. My senior onc nurse told me to always insist and sure enough, it works. (no lab techs for me).
No longer in treatment, but I have draws quarterly for my follow-up visits. Always go to onc nurses for those draws.
I'm from DFW area, as well. Treatment and doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
