Hi Sally,
I start my Chemo on 24th Feb and have been told by my consultant that I have to have an implantable port fitted, just under my neck. This stops the need for needles in veins, and apparently they can even take blood tests from the port. I’m not looking forward to having it fitted, although apparently it’s quite an easy procedure, but it sounds like a good alternative. It’s called a portacath. Hope this helps.
Good luck
Sharon
