Thinking back on my chemo journey (finished CapeOX a few months ago, but had FOLFOX before that requiring a port), I realized the port was such a central part of it! Curious about others’ experiences:

  • How was getting your port placed? (Pain, recovery?)
  • Any tips for accessing day? (Numbing cream? Distraction?)
  • Did anyone have issues like infection, clotting, or flipping? How was it handled? Just reflecting on this piece of the hardware many of us deal with!

    Yes! Numbing cream was a must for me too. Made access days so much less stressful. Glad yours was mostly trouble-free, Robert.
