I suggest bringing something like ginger chews or mints. When they flush your port between things, you can taste the saline and it's gross. I always put a ginger mint in my mouth before they did it to block the taste. Will be thinking of you.

at first my port was easy to deal with ~ then during one chemo treatment a nurse pulled the needle out fast and hard ~ I of course yelled out OUCH she responded with don't be a baby that didn't hurt . It bed for 2 day ~ bruised inside and out ~ and twisted. Every treatment after that the head of nursing at the cancer center had to put the needle in place ~ to this day it hurts, even when the shower water beats down on my skin.
