I don't have a port but I have accessed many while working. One thing to keep in mind is accessing a port does involve a needle. It's a small needle but still a needle.

Unfortunately there is no way to tell exactly how your body will respond. How often are you getting an IV or blood draw? Is it possible to decrease the frequency of the test?

Good luck!
