Hello Hockey Dad:

I didn't have a port (to use when getting chemo), but wished I had because every time I had my chemo with blood work (1/day week for 7 weeks), they would have to find a vein in my arm(s) that would work, and eventually most of the veins either "rolled," or ran for their lives, so I often had to be stuck numerous times until they found one. So, maybe mention it if they didn't offer because looking back, it would have saved a lot of pain/time when getting treatments.
