Re: I think I'll go to Portland...
My port is on my left bicep. No straps to worry about. It is low profile and barely noticeable even in sleeveless situations. I am very active, and it has never bothered me. I can barely feel it when accessed. I hated this thing on my arm at first, but I love it now. I had my expander implant exchange yesterday and the nurse had to stick it twice. Then it dripped too slow, and they had to put an IV into my arm. That was weird, and I hope that the port was not damaged or anything. Overall, what a great invention!!
