I have never done this entered a blog/opinion but for anyone that has oral cancer throat cancer...a port for the chemo and a feeding tube same time...my husband did the port but nixed feeding tube after 3 weeks of vomiting he had to undergo surgery again for the feeding tube...
A port is to avoid ones veins from collapsing from having the chemo put through them...the artery is stronger and safer but this I pick up from sitting in the chemo room with my husband. So much easier quicker cleaner.
