Gracie, I spent 9 weeks in the hospital when TM hit me. They put a port in my left arm. With all the "stickings" I had, I thought it was a blessing. I could not shower when it was in. I don't know if mine was the same as you are talking about, but maybe so. Janice ----- Original Message ----- From: Grace M.

Hi Guys, My infusion nurse discussed the possibility of having a port inserted for my Rituximab infusions. Does anyone here have one, and if so, what has your experience been? My veins are a really hard stick and blow easily. I've read about using a port, and it sounds quite innocuous but I'd like some first hand input. Thanks, Gracie
