Thank you all for the input. It seems unanimous that a port is preferred by more people. I'm going to really push for them to put one in before my next round of chemo. They wanted me to leave my IV in for up to 3 days but I found it to be problematic and limiting to me so I have been having them take it out daily. Two more sticks then I'll be done for 18 days, other than any needed transfusions.
