My port has never been used to draw blood. I have enormous veins and only relented to get a port because they said chemo was very caustic to surrounding skin. Once in a blue moon, I get a bruising draw, and those are the ones that hurt. Operator error? One nurse did say to really keep pressure on the site for 15 min following draw to ninimize bruising. If I think of it, I'll ask what their rational is for not drawing. Good Luck, BB
