What is a Port Access

A port access is a vein under the skin. This is used to insert chemotherapy and other related medications. This is used to go through the blood to remove unhealthy cells and tumors. The port can be accessed through the chest and the spine. It is easier for the child if you have a distraction. Ask the doctor to count before putting the needle in. Let the child push the syringe in. If they don't want to, let them watch TV or read or play video games. It's as easy as that!!
