I received no card to put in my wallet.
Before all of my chemo, I had a "chemo-teach" class at the onc's office. The nurse showed me the type of port I would be getting. I also received an information packet that told me all about chemo; but nothing more about the port.
When I saw the surgeon, he described the port to me and how it would be surgically implanted. I was told that if I ever had an mri that I would need to tell them that I have a port in me.
Other than that, I was given/told nothing.
I think I'm going to have a loooong talk with my onc this week.
Thanks for all you info!
