Re: Port Placement
Yellow Tail, yes...that is what I was able to find. I saw dozens of pictures of what the unit itself looks like but no actual pictures of what it looks like once its placed under the skin.
Jackie, I can see me becoming attached to my port too. I think in some way while Chemo and Ports are reminders to our situation, I think they also act as a security blanket for us in some odd way.
Ellie, I will be able to shower in two days I will post a picture then. Like Yellow, mentioned from what I can tell its rather small and does not extend very far out. According to the size of the bandage (2" x 3/4") the incision has to be only about an inch!! YAY!!
Bonnie, I agree there are different typs of ports and of course different bodies that they will belong to. I am a very visual person and I need to see things in order to grasp them fully. It may not be exact but it at least gives a better understanding of what is somewhat expected.
Hugs to All.....Lisa
