Chemo Port

Tomorrow morning I'll have a procedure to insert a port for chemotherapy. It sounds like this is going to be in my chest. I'm picturing a discreet lump near my collarbone.

If I were svelte, I would be very disappointed with how my bikini season is going. Between the port and the six-inch incision through my belly-button, I feel a little like Frankenstein's monster.

i have an infusion in my arm once a month and i have had a Picc Line once for six weeks because of MRSA...It leaves a mental scar, but other than that, you will get use to it! This procedure will really make this better for you because they won't have to put a needle in you every time you go in...and when it's all over, they take it out and you are done with it! Peace be with you friend!!
