Totally pro port! Make
I have tiny veins and thank God that I did get a power port! I never had a problem with it and it made everything easier, not just chemo but blood tests, scans etc. I kept it in for almost 2 years and never had a problem. Both putting it in and taking it out were done under twilight slep and I had very little pain afterward, didn't need to take any pain medications.
I agree with everyone else, staying hydrated is so,so important. I ended up in the emergency room several time due to fainting from dehydration. Make sure your mom keeps drinking water all day long, not just on chemo day but also in the days/weeks following treatment!
