Susan,

A port is a God send. It makes receiving chemotherapy and getting blood drawn a breeze, so much better then having your arm stuck repeatedly. It takes away the risk of collapsed veins too. You will be very glad to get one I am sure. The surgery to have it put in is also a breeze. Your chest may be a little sore for a few days but after that you will almost forget you even have a port in place.
