Sorry @GinGin I have a port. However it is an arm port so I do have the same challenges you are facing with regards to lifting. My right arm had an anx clearance so I am not able to use that arm for lifting heavy objects. The Port is in my left arm and I am limited to 5kg but thankfully my grandbabies are grandteens now so I don't want to lift them. Your Breast care nurse or the cancer council hotline will be able to answer a few of those questions. I sleep on both sides and do not find my port an issue. Best wishes. xxx
