Re: Port or not??
Oh definitely the port ASAP. Saves a lot of trouble down the line for most of us. Unfortunately it causes some pain and bruising, so get some pain meds from your doctor. The pain goes down in a few days.
A port might delay the chemo a little, but I think it is worth getting - ask your oncologist as it depends on how your tumor is growing and what chemo they are giving.
Good luck
