Any other Power Port patients here?

For those of you experiencing pain when they access you power port: ask your oncologist to prescribe some numbing creme. The name of mine escapes me, but it is a generic. I feel absolutely nothing when I use it. I put it on my power port heavily. Then cover it with "press and peel" which you can find at your grocery store with the plastic wrap. I do this about an hour before bloodwork or any other access. No one told me I needed to ask my doctor for prescription for this creme. I found out my first bloodwork appointment. This creme has definitely been a Godsend.
