I got my power port three weeks ago and I am so thankful. I have had two A/C treatments, plus I was hospitalized for being neutropenic. The oncology nurses all access it without issue. The only one who had trouble was the ER nurse who used too big a needle and a float nurse who struggled a little. I can't even imagine going through this without it. It is big and awkward, but I can deal with that.
