Re: Port or No Port?
Hi there Amy, I really hope your port insertion went well. I know this is a bit late but for others considering a port,I have a slim port in my left arm, as opposed to having one put in the chest. I only found out this was an option through my breast nurse in Australia.It's hardly visible and non protruding, apart from a small incision scar others would not really notice it there. The pro's about having this type of port is that I didn't need a general anaesthetic as I had it inserted in radiology, it's also very easy to access & my oncology nurses say they even prefer arm ports, but most importantly it saves my veins. I honestly don't have any complaints about it.
