Maria I hated the idea of having a port and also left it too late until my veins were shot from a/c.I use the Emla cream an hour beforehand and find there is very little discomfort if any.Some nurses are better than others though at accessing it.Mine is quite visable as is the tube or catheter leading into it which I was told is because I'm quite skinny on top.This does bother me but just means I wear higher necks on my t shirts etc I'm still very glad I had the port put in when I did as it really beats the alternative.
