topical for port before treatment

topical for port before treatment

Does anyone know what can be used before the treatment of chemo any topical to be used on the port to reduce the pain of the needle going in.

Hi.  You can ask the doctor to apply some EMLA (a cream consisting of a mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine, both local anesthetics) on the port before inserting the catheter.
