HI All!
My new port worked really well today and I didn't feel the needle going in AT ALL! I used the numbing cream....and that stuff is wonderful!!

J, You need to have one of these Ports put in! It makes infusions SO much easier! You can move around, read, write letters.....what ever during the infusion because you have both hands free! It's great! I wish I'd had one of these from the get-go! I'm a Port-Gal now! LOL
