Re: Port Placement

Hello Fellow Canadian, I felt the same at first with the port having to get use to it but now it is there and I don't notice it until someone hugs me to hard I use the emla patch (2 for 7$) Canadian at Walmart half the cost of the local pharmacy (Shoppers Drug Mart) same product 16$, crazy. I put the patch on 45mins before the chemo started and felt nothing thank goodness! I am done chemo and still have herceptin every three weeks and use the emla patch still. Believe in your self and keep moving forward!

Re: Port Placement

Thanks for the heads up about pricing Marlene, I had already paid the high price at Shoppers but will remember this for future purchases.
