Thankx to everyone who responded to my AC questions. I have another (hardly suprising!!) My port was put in yesterday and is hurting a bit but is very very uncomfortable. It seems as if its moving around when I lie down, stand up etc Also when I lift the arm it hurts. Is this normal? HELP!!!

RE: Port hurting & very uncomfortable!

Reni, I thought the port was a band aid procedure but it was a little more than that. I was slightly remorseful at first, because it hurt for a few days. Also, I didn't like the way it "clicked" against my clavicle when I raised my arm to eat, etc. Then I realized I needed to make pals with this thing. It would save me a lot of pain and would be the vessel for life-saving drugs. Since then it has been terrific. It has "settled" in. It is a Godsend when it comes time for chemo. It's my superhighway!
God Bless. Vicki
