Port Insertion Tomorrow
Hi All I'm having a port inserted into my chest tomorrow prior to starting chemo next week (my veins are too fragile to cope with lots of needles apparently). Just wondered if anyone had any advice ...
I have a Port in since March and have never had any pain or any issues with it. I was very aware of it being under my skin for the first week or so and that freaked me out a little bit when I thought about it so I stopped thinking about it!! It’s so convenient for chemo and blood tests I love it! My 4yr old asked me in the shower if it was my nipple growing back and was very relieved when I told him it wasn’t hahaha!! I have had a double mastectomy so it’s a pretty obvious lump on my flat chest!!
