Re: Port Placement

My port looked very different to this and felt it fair to mention, I'm very small on top and during chemo lost so much weight the port stuck out so much from my skin that I had to only wear certain sweaters or tops or it would show to everyone!

I was still glad to have it as it did help me a lot but felt I should warn others who may have the same experience, I wish I had known this may happen and although I still would have had it, I would'nt have been quite so shocked!
