Re: Port or not??

I hated the idea of a port but finally had to ask for one after my third chemo by which time my veins had already been damaged and they still are today, I'd say get a port as it really does make the whole thing far easier.

Although they say a few hours, there's always delays in waiting for blood results or the pharmacy etc and it takes longer for the first infusion anyway, good luck.
