Thanks Toni - I had a pic line through chemo that worked ok but stopped me swimming and I needed flushing every week so I had it taken out in August - I thought I could mange without through immunotherapy but it’s proving so difficult to find a vein every 6 weeks so I feel this is probably my best option - I hope your keeping well and thank you so much for your response and how you coped with it 

I feel for you, I know what its like trying to find a vein, had so many people try on my first chemo that I was bruised all the way up my arm. I think you will find the port a lot easier, its under the skin so nothing to stop you swimming as far as I'm aware, once your wound has healed.  I'm getting there, just finished the radiotherapy, so now just tablet based treatments and bloods every month, so didnt bother keeping the port fitted as i dont normally have an issue getting blood, just fitting a canula.  Good luck with the port and fingers crossed it works out for the best.
