Wendy,

Can't say enough about the port and what a godsend it was for my Bill who is slightly needle-phobic. His was placed in the clavicle area of his upper chest at the same time his Peg tube was placed. Both were so helpful thru treatments.

Blood tests..IV fluids and of course, chemo was so much easier with the port and did not cause the pain that accessing a vein does. Bill just recently had his port removed under twilight anesthesia...a piece of cake.

Best of luck as you start this journey...keep checking in here for your sanity's sake...we all have been thru it.
