Hi - got diagnosed last month at 27 and have my port placement this week. Already very squeamish about needles and incisions so dreading this but understand it’s necessary.

I’m on weekly infusions so I’ve seen posts in this subreddit that ports hurt a lot when the needle goes in for chemo when its still “fresh”?

Will the pain be a 10 on next weeks infusions?

How does your body feel after the procedure when the sedation wears off?

Any care tips I need to know before or afterwards?

Thanks in advance for any advice :’)
