I had problems with my port at first, they tried positioning me different, usually laying back in the recliner, almost like lying flat. This seemed to work. I always have echos instead of mugas, just as reliable. As for your onc being in a bad mood. He should save that for at home. He is there to answer any questions you have no matter how trivial he might think they are. I have no use for doctors who don't answer my questions. Might need to find a new onc. Best of luck with the rest of your treatments
