It is normal. The reason I didn't get a port because of I won't be doing hormone treatments after chemo and they did't need as many blood draws. I can tell you I wish I got a port early on. (The nurse didn't get it first try today, but only ONE left!!!!!!!!!!)

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... |
