Hi Sheila
You must have had "amazing" veins. Mine gave out on me
after 4 treatments. Having a port changes the whole "chemo
experience". You will love it .... no more nurses slapping the
top of your hand, no more soaking your hand in warm water..
you just walk in and get hooked up. My last iv went in with
my hand wrapped around a tennis ball.

I had a different kind of port put in, but it went into my
jugular vein, under my skin, and out a little opening in my
chest. My chemo nurse used it the next day and I had
very little pain around either site (my neck and my chest).
Good luck....
