Hi Sheila,

You will love your port - and it sounds like you are getting a state of the art one.

They couldn't fit in my port placement before my first chemo, so I had to do the first round with the IV. I had the port placed about 10 days before my 2nd chemo, and like Brenda D I was in a twilight sleep. I was very tired the rest of the day, I doubt I could have sat through hours of an infusion. But it may be different for you.

Good luck.

all the best
