They opffered her a port but she felt she would be ok w/out one as it's only one time a wk. In the beginning her veins were great, the second visit not as good, yesterday her 7th tx, it took 3 times. She's still happy that she doesn't have a port. I wonder how I would feel if I had to have someone try over and over....I'd probably be in trouble for mouthing off or worse
