Congratulations on being almost done....and hope it goes smoothly for you today.

Hey everyone, I have a question...

My mother is getting chemo every two weeks, a treatment at the oncology center and then a pack that she wears for 48 hours that continues it.

They don't have to find a vein each time (like Debby....ouch!)....because she has a port in her chest that evidently goes to an artery or a major vein or something. I'm just wondering if anyone knows....is that normal? Does it mean anything? It just got me wondering...
