Port
I had my first mammogram while i still had a port cath in. It didn't seem to make much of a difference, but my port had always bothered me, and even though it's gone, it still itches like crazy at the site. I don't know if it makes much difference, but i had plenty of boob for them to work with, so the port didn't get in the way at all.
Hope this helps!
Good luck with the scan!
