I have a coment and a question

I had a friend who was treated for ovarian cancer 3 staight years without a break. Her abdoman filled with fluid several times. While draining the fluid, a staff infection invaded her body. She died one month later.

Before I have a CT scan I go next door to the treatment center and have my port accessed by a chemo nurse. The radiologist pushes the contrast through my port. After the procedure I return to the center to have the needle removed. Is this safe or should I go back to having it put in my arm?

Thankyou and Blessings,
Lu Ann
