Hi Jodiewall, I had an infection in my drain site, that even the IV antibiotics could not clear up. After doing some research I came across Medihoney (medical grade Manuka Honey). After applying the Medihoney & covering with a dressing for 24 hours my infected drain was no longer oozing & after another 24 hours the wound had closed. The dressings you use are shiny on one side. Pour some honey onto the dressing & then place over wound. Most pharmacys stock Medihoney. I hope you infection clears up soon & that your port site becomes less swollen & sore soon. I will be having my 3rd AC chemo Friday week, so it wasn't that long ago that I was feeling scared/anxious about my 1st. Just be kind to yourself & take your meds. Drink lots of water to keep your veins open & to flush the chemo out of your system. After the first couple of days I found that I felt better if I made myself get up & go for a walk or even a ride In the car to collect my son from daycare. Take care. Regards Adrianne
