How to prepare for getting a chest port for chemo?

Went through this a few years back. Have a port placed in my upper right chest. It was an outpatient procedure and went fine with little discomfort and relatively quick healing. Generally wore a loose fitting shirt for chemo and had no real issues with port access. Hope this helps some.

These are all good responses. Ask her to get involved with Mayo connect. Great place to ask questions and learn!
Thinking of your sister in law!!!
