Do I need a port for Navelbine?

I’m going to be starting Navelbine in the next couple of weeks and while I did find an old thread on this treatment, it’s not been active for quite awhile. It seems this isn’t a common treatment but I’m hoping those that have been on it will chime in. My question, have any of you been on this treatment without a port?

I have a stand in MO at the moment as my regular onc is on sabbatical which makes it harder to dig deeper with questions. He asked if I had a port but then seemed okay with me proceeding without one. However, a page into that old thread it seems everyone had a port for this treatment or got one before starting. Bit nervous as my veins are already crying uncle somewhat after almost five years of blood draws, etc. I also recall that it didn’t take long before I needed a PICC line when I started CEF in 2001.

Any advice would be appreciated!
