IP port

Anyone have an IP port ? How did you do with chemo through this port? I start chemo next week.

IP port
I had one when I had IP with taxol and cisplatin. I'm really thin so they placed it right around my hip bone. It's identicle to my IV port. Don't let IP therapy scare you - it is very doable. You just feel really bloated for awhile afterwards.

Thanks. I've been dreading chemo through this port but I've heard it gives good results.

I have
IV port not sure if it is the same thing but I love my port it is easy to access and because of the cream I put on an hour before being accest there is no pain. hope this helped.

IP PORT

I have an IP Port. I have not had any problems with the port. I had dose dense and IP chemo. I feel fine.

Onc-stat published an article recently about IP. IP has had great results.

Best wishes.
