Is a Chemo port removal painful?

When i had it put in, they said it wouldn't hurt, and it'd just be a little sore. While they were putting it in, it didn't hurt, but the next day, it was painful for two weeks, and i was stuck in bed. Also, whatever pain meds they gave me made no difference, so i didn't even take them. I'd rather leave the port in than be in pain because i have plans for the next two weeks. But my oncologist has been pushing me, so the removals sheduled in two days. All of this is making me kinda angry even though i should be grateful. Im worried im going to get the port removed, go home fine, and wake up the next day in pain, throwing a temper tantrum, lol.

I drink a fifth a week, usually within two days. I was wondering if thats considered a okay amount or if its way too much for mental health. I used to drink more than two liters a week. Obviously none of its healthy, I was just wondering what other people think. I love weed as a alternative but it makes me too tired and is kinda weak for me.

I've been taking buspirone for around two years now. I feel like it helps me be more stable, but i haven't noticed any major effects. I don't have panic attacks as often when i take it, so my doctors want me to keep taking it. I know nothing about it, so I was wondering how buspirone has been for you all. I feel like it helps with the physical parts of anxiety slightly. I've gone through all of the doses pretty much
