Hi I have a chemo port line from cancer I had before as I said my doctors have no information on it and my records are unrecoverable to to coma and my identiy being changed. Well I think I am having complications from it I am having chest pains especially when I am mesing with it. Its like my heart is having a hard time pumping and a hard time breathing. I am thinking about telling my doctor about it as a lump just see what they diagnose it as seeing I dont see them believing my story. Who wants to guess what the port will be diagnosed as?

    Fascinating Story

    Your story alone is entertaining enough.  Are you planning to have it removed?

    If the doctor you consult has any experience at all, he or she should be able to tell it's a port.  If not, you might end up getting breast cancer treatment.
