What is a port, why do I need one, and what can I expect when I get it placed? I answer these questions and more to hopefully help ease your anxiety a little around getting one put in your body. Mine was placed in preparation of me receiving 8 rounds of chemotherapy to treat Stage 3 Colorectal Cancer that had invaded my body.
