Re: Have to get a port - anything I should know?
I have the brad power port. It was put in on a Monday and I had my first chemo the next morning. I tried the lidocaine then keep forgetting it. If the nurse is well trained, then I can stand the short pain but get a bad nurse and OMG. I have had 6 of 8 treatments as of today, so I'm celebrating my next to last chemo in October. I still have blood drawn from my veins but they are so good at this, I don't mind a bit.
