Hi. Like Patty I have a port in my chest and LOVE it. I just wish it could be used for everything!!! My veins are also shot and for the last few MUGA's they have had to use the other arm (the one with the lymph nodes removed).....my onc's nurse said that in an emergency it was ok as long as it was not turniqued. I don't think they would permit this for chemo though and I personally would not want to risk it. They have a new, smaller chest port now so maybe the new size will help your body accept it. I really hope so as the stress of just getting hooked up is awful.
Best regards,
Cathya
