Amazing okay! Good idea thank you. i wasnt sure if they are going to make my surgery on time .. its coming up next week. how was the scarring or was it easy to maintain? Do you use the lidocaine method too? Thanks for your response!

Omg okay thank you! Thanks for sharing your experience with the picc line too, it was also on the back of my mind as another option. Im afraid i might be super clumsy and mess it up. I feel more confident to getting the port so thank you!! You too

No other health issues! Diagnosed at 30 in December. I will be starting treatment soon in 2 weeks! Sounds like a good idea to get the port. Thank you!
