I just noticed the messages about ports and wanted to add that Emla Cream can be used to numb the port site before accessing...you don't feel a thing. I also am a terrible stick and will not let anyone even try to find a vein any more (I'm needle phobic and about lose it after 2 or 3 pokes). My port intermittently will not draw back, and the nurse puts something called Cath-flow into the port. Within 45 min they get a blood return. It's expensive (what isn't?) but has been covered by my insurance.
Hope this might be helpful to someone!
