Hi,
sorry cannot help you with the information you are after, I am 4 and a half years post diagnosis with mets in my liver and spine, so very sorry that you are now in our corner of the breast cancer world, I am sure your Professor has created the best treatment plan for you and I am very sure that he will take into account your apprehension, hopefully someone here will either have had the port that way or may have nursing experience to be able to give you some information, you certainly have had a rough trot, no point in saying to you not to worry!!!, just one foot in front of the other, one day at a time, please keep in contact and let us know how you are there is plenty of information here at bcna, perhaps you could ring the bcna helpline and speak the one of the cancer nurses I believe they are here till 9pm this evening to help with any questions and put your mind at rest 1800 500 258 -
