Yes, I have a port. I was glad to have it for chemo as it made things easier on me.
Chemo was difficult. The farther along, the harder it got. Nausea and overall fatigue were my biggest issues. So glad to have that behind me. I had surgery in Nov and now have a neobladder.

Hi Jo, how was the surgery and how do you like the neobladder? The oncologist at the beginning denied the port. And the new oncologist also denied the port??? Anyway my brother is very hard to come back for treatment b/c of the awful time he had with the nurse putting in the IV. It rang on the monitor for about 1 hour. It bubbled right away and I alerted the nurse and she ignored for an hour. Finally I had to get another nurse to put a new one in. Well she searched all over his poor forearms making this treatment unbearable. We are trying to get the doctor to order & schedule the port asap. How soon did you start treatment after your port was put in? Thank you so much. Jo

How has your neo bladder recovery going. I’m interested in the outcome vs
Other options if and when I need to do it. Thank you
