To have a port or not to have a port

“What you have done differently, looking back at your experience with chemo?” I've asked this question of a number of people, and nearly everyone has had the same basic answer, “I really wished I had a port. It would have been so much easier on my veins, and it would be less stressful on me and my nurses.”

So today I had my port placement consultation, and I will be having the procedure done March 13 at Novant. I will be receiving the PowerPort ClearVUE Implantable Port. The image below is what I was showed as a model during the consultation. Mine will be titanium.

One step closer to chemo.
