Re: Port In

Dawn, I hated the idea of a port but eventually got one on my third a/c when it became more difficult and stressful to find a vein. I'm quite thin so it stuck out of my chest and made me feel really depressed but it became my best friend and I was so glad to have it.
I'm sure you will be too, anything that makes this easier right??
I got used to it and hope you will too, and much luck with the treatment to you
