Having port

Hi Char--try to be calm
You'll do great. Having the port is one of the best things--as you will see. It makes treatment so much easier. The only thing I experienced is a little bit of a pinching feeling for the first couple of days when I moved my arm and shoulder certain ways. After my body got used to it being there--it was fine.
Good luck. This is all overwhelming, but you can do this!

Good luck on the port placement
Port surgery was pretty easy. You might be a little sore especially if you lay on your port side. When I got up from a laying position, it helped to sort of hold port so I didn't get the feeling of it falling.
Regardless, remember not to pick up the grandkids or anything heavy. That's the most important thing.
Take care, Cindy0 -
Morning Char
You are probably gone to the hospital but I just wanted to say good luck. I was nervous to going in but it really wasn't a big deal getting the port put in. Felt funny for a couple of days now I don't even know it is there. You didn't say what was bothering you about your body. We are all here to help as you know. If you are having problems talk to your Dr. they are there to help. Best to ya Kay Let us know how it goes.0 -

How did your port surgery go?
I've found mine a bit odd. Sometimes I don't even notice it, but sometimes it's really irritating (like when the seatbelt rubs on it.
I hope everything is working out well for you!0
