Port Placement

Hello My HER2+ Sisters,

I hope you are all doing well today, I had my port placed today and I'm feeling great! I know there are dozens of posts already existing RE: Ports however, when I was first told I would be getting a port I was panic stricken. "Oh my goodness, I am going to have a doorbell inserted in my chest" I did tons of searches on ports, I needed to know what they looked like once inserted. I Goggled, I Binged, I was on every Cancer forum....I couldn't find what it looked like. All I found for the most part was posts of praise. Everyone was thrilled with their port choice and for the most part basically everyone said they would do it again if they had to (well wishes to everyone and hopes that they will NEVER have to deal with ports again...)
I've decided that for the neurotic individuals out there like myself that will spend hours upon hours researching ports and what they look like as soon as I can remove the gauze I would like to post a picture.....it will be a surprise to me too as I still have no idea what it looks like :-/

Any objections?

Hugs to you all.....Lisa
