I am actually on my 8th mediport-have had this one for almost 2 years. I have had conscious sedation for the placement for all of mine and I have been taught to access my own. This allows me to bring my own blood samples in the to my doctors who don't have nurses who are trained to care for mediports-my gp, endocrinologist etc.
I only have one arm that can be used for sticks and blood pressure and the veins in that arm aren't good so the port has been a Godsend!
